23. *shrug*
You call it playing games and not thinking clearly.

I call it reading the constitution.

The Government is set up to give the highest power to the people, via the legislative branch.

The executive can check congress via the veto, but congress can override vetos.

The judicial branch can check congress through the SC - but congress can amend the constutition (with approval from the states).

I'm not sure what your point is. I have shown exactly how the congress and the states can remedy court decisions they don't like. I don't know why you call that playing games.
