I like the intent behind that, but it would also be scary to give the courts even more power at this time in history.

The court decides regardless, this would prevent unconstitutional laws from going into effect

Yeah but the dynamic would probably change quite a bit if they were gatekeepers up front and new laws had to avoid a presidential veto plus a court veto. And it would let the courts act on their own rather then simply deciding cases that end up on their docket.

Like I said, the idea sounds like a nice thing. In just think we’ve seen enough to know that the execution would be a nightmare.

It would probably take a constitutional amendment to make questionably unconstitutional law something to be reviewed before it being implemented. Also include a timeline which it must be complete.

I know none of this will happen but I can dream
