It's crazy that Senators voted on whether or not something is Constitutional. Isn't that determination the purview of the SCOTUS?
There is nothing unconstitutional about the senate coming to an official consensus on whether or not an action of theirs is constitutional. In the end, SCOTUS has the power to deny the action.
I wasn't saying it's unconstitutional for them to do so. I was saying they are not the arbiter of whether their action is Constitutional. I'm sure they believe any law they pass is Constitutional but as we've seen that determination lies beyond them.
I'm reacting to reporting saying the Senate voted that something is Constitutional - it's a nonsense statement. It's like me voting myself to be Superbowl MVP.
This is like responding to the president or any congressman saying something is constitutional/unconstitutional with "you're not the arbiter." We know that. They can still opine on the matter. It's not that weird and it's kinda nice to have them on the record.
