I love it when even our Vice President doesn’t understand how our government works

In response to the Supreme Court decision allowing corporations and other organizations to spend money on political commercials, discount cialis cialis Vice President Joe Biden said:

“I think it was dead wrong and we have to correct it, seek ” said Biden, inviting Congress to pass legislation negating the decision.

Of course, it’s not possible for Congress to “pass legislation” that would negate the Courts decision because the only way to “negate” it would be to amend the Constitution and change the First Amendment. A simple bill or law “negating” the decision would fail because it, too, would be overruled by the Constitution…a simple fact I would have hoped the Vice President of the United States would understand.
