US Supreme Court declares US Constitution unconstitutional

Justices rule that nowhere in the Constitution does it explicitly say that the Constitution is constitutional


Also, they handed down a decision that democracy is socialism and therefore illegal.

And that 6 is 9.

...whatever the hell he wants.

Asked for a statement, Sen. Mitch McConnell pulled his head into his shell.

Sometimes when he's askeed by the press he says things blasting Trump, but then in the very next interview, "I'm going to vote for him."

If this is actually factual that they ruled as such, then they ruled their jobs away.

If they declared the US Constitution as unconstitutional, then that document giving the position to rule would cease to end their seats.

He was plagued by a similar court that was blocking all progress on the New Deal. In a fireside chat, he laid out his planned restructuring of the SC. Justices over the age of seventy would become Justices Emeritus, having as a bloc only one vote collectively. The rest of the court would then be expanded back to nine members.
Amazingly, after that chat and Roosevelt's reelection, the opposition ended.
President Biden ought to consider a similar little reading from The Book of Threats.

Something similar in today's world would be most welcome.
It's certainly needed!

as taxation without representation: without equitable representation, that is.

I, a citizen, am not getting equal representation if others are getting extra representation (which the Electoral College does give those in low population states).
