Bobby Jindal either has not read or is lying about the Constitution

Gov. Bobby Jindal (R-LA) at CPAC 2013.

Gov. Bobby Jindal might want to brush up on his understanding of the Constitution before he thinks more seriously about running for president in 2016. The Louisiana Republican has some interesting ideas about blocking marriage equality:
“We’re a nation of laws, that’s why I said I want the Supreme Court not to overturn our laws,” he said on CNN’s “New Day” on Tuesday.
“If the Supreme Court were to do this, I think the remedy would be a constitutional amendment in the Congress to tell the courts you can't overturn what the states have decided. “
Hoo boy. First, Bobby, the Supreme Court gets to decide if a law is constitutional. That's its job. We're a nation of laws, and the Supreme Court has a role in determining those laws, which is something you might want to look into before spouting off.
Second, "a constitutional amendment in the Congress" is not a remedy to anything except specific members of Congress being able to brag to their constituents about having voted for a thing. That's because Congress does not pass constitutional amendments on its own. You have to get 38 states to ratify what two-thirds of each house of Congress has first passed. That's not going to happen, and Jindal's preferred remedy of Congress passing an amendment doesn't change the Constitution in any way.
they make it clearer everyday they have no business where they are they can't govern states without screwing half of them they say Pres. who is a constitutional lawyer knows nothing about the constitution well how do they know when they don't know.  i agree that he his wrapping himself in it like that suppose to qualify anything that comes out their mouths you would think they learned we see through that when they do it with the flag.

remember this?  they wanted nothing the last 6 years but to make Pres. fail well somebody did but it wasn't Pres., 6 years non stop and they couldn't do it now it's come home to roost and they are the one's getting the crimson letter "F" YOU CAN ATTACH WHATEVER WORD YOU LIKE
