The legal pedigree matters if you want to get the law abolished or changed by the Supreme Court. But in theory it is also possible to have representatives vote on new laws, exercising the legislative power in what is its nominal seat.
- rayiner 9y agoOh I agree. But unfortunately a lot of stuff that’s bad (e.g. how criminal defendants were treated before the 1980s) gets fixed only because it’s also unconstitutional. If you’re a middle class American you’ve probably never had to carry a large amount of cash around because you’ve got a bank account/PayPal. So it doesn’t affect your vote if cops are going around seizing cash from drug dealers and lower class people are getting caught up in the net.
