About the timing of the suit, as I said, it is no more political than the timing of the activity that got the law passed in the first place. I'm certian that law was passed at a "politcal" time for a "political" purpose. |
That's very true, amendments are meant to be set in stone, but even they can be changed, edited, added to, and altogether rescinded. I don't think amendments outrank legislation completely, simply because legislation creates amendments; however, legislation can be considered unconstitutional as well - it part of the beauty of our countries checks and balances.
Edit: I said before, I don't know if there was any political timing used. I don't know if they passed it right before elections or right after or what, but I do know that the decision to challenge that ban right now was a concious decision on the plantiffs part.
