Forgetting About the U.S. Constitution, Conservative Republican Style

UNLESS YOU HAVE BEEN LIVING on, say, Mars, you are aware that President obama has issued an executive order with the intention of making things a bit easier for people who are illegally living in the United States, people such as the parents of babies born in America, babies who, according to the constitution, are automatic American citizens on accounta having been born here. Infant citizens, with illegal alien parents. That don't make good sense. Hell, that don't even make good nonsense. (Davy Crockett). Congress, (republicans) won't do anything about it, so Big "O" stepped in, and ever since our Republican cons (conservatives) have been claiming that the President is a dictator, a traitor, an overreacher, a constitution-ignorer, a Moslem, a foreigner, a trans sexual, and an all around bad dude. The only problem is, he aint none of the above, because the question of the legality of his Executive Order On Immigration hasn't yet been decided by the United States Supreme Court. Innocent until proven guilty. Legality of Executive Orders until U.S. Supreme court decides otherwise. Have our conservative brethren and sistern forgotten this fundamental constitution based principle? So it would seem. Hey! Here's an idea. In law school, third year, at many universities they have what is called "moot court", in which students play roles in a practice court room legal battle. Its all make believe, but still serious, and its great practice for the students. Cases are argued and decided by judges, who are usually law professors. Why don't we start doing that nationally, even at the Supreme Court level? If the high court doesn't want to or won't or can't hear the case against Obama's executive order on immigration, because it hasn't made its way there yet, nor even been filed, maybe the court could try the case in a moot court fashion, non binding, of course. just for "practice" (as if the cupreme court needs any {or maybe, on second thought, they do}), and to give us all an idea of where we stand? It would only take a day or so, if they wish. Maybe come in on a Sunday, and give it a whirl. Can you imagine the U.S. Supreme Court doing such a thing? Probably not.Too bad.
