Has a very clear understanding of the United States Constitution. People who speak the truth are bound to step on some toes sometimes. John Lewis knew. Let AOC be who she is. She seems to understand when she’s criticized, and not take it personally, it’s very important in government. People with brains don’t need to or desire to engage in insulting behavior. I hope she has a very long career in the Democratic Party and our government

It’s the most important weapon too many of our leaders don’t understand and barely make any use of.

She makes their equipment shrink. And the GQP females know she's smarter than all of them put together, which makes them feel totally inadequate, so they badmouth her like the mean girls they are.

Seen her opponent, who was photographed and bragged about being in the Capital on J6, you gotta to believe she wins in a landslide. But not in todays world. That opponent idiot could be funded more than most GQP in the country, the oligarchs Hate AOC and will go to war to beat her.

The Constitution does not mention anything about "Judicial review" nor does the Federalist Papers.
It was a power taken by Justice Marshall in Marbury v. Madison and honored by subsequent administrations with the lone
exception of "Old Hickory" Andrew Jackson in the Worcester v Georgia (1832) in which the indigenous "Civilized Tribes" fought against removal from their native Georgia lands. "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it."
Thus began the infamous "Trail of Tears" which saw 4000 Cherokee die along the way to Oklahoma Territory.
