Ignoring the Constitution

The Founders made one glaring error when they drew up the Constitution and ratified it: they did not provide for an actual punishment for lawmakers who ignore it in the making of their laws, save the embarrassment of having their unconstitutional laws declared unconstitutional—eventually. After the damage has been done. So lawmakers are constantly making unconstitutional laws and enforcing them for years—until someone spends enough money to take it to the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court agrees to hear the case, and—finally--declares it to be unconstitutional. What happens then is problematic. The damage has already been done. People have lost money to fines and extra expenditures required under the unconstitutional law, some having spent time in prison for violation of that law, lives ruined, under a law that should not have been made, or enforced, at all. There even could have been a provision in the Constitution requiring the Supreme Court to view the law BEFORE it is ever enforced, to save innocent people from damage. I know that would put a larger burden on the Supremes, but something needs to be done. (AmmoLand)
