True, they decide (if they want to) if what was done is legal under the 
Constitution.

Not true. The Congress, the Executive branch and the Supreme Court are the 
THREE parts that form our fed govt. Anyone of them can be overruled by the 
others.
The Constitution CAN be changed through an amendment or by holding another 
Constitutional Convention.
I'd stay a long ways away from a convention, we'd be a lot easier to manage 
without that pesky "bill of rights"and I'll bet that would be the first to 
go at a convention.
It sounds silly but maybe we need an amendment that calls for bringing back 
the Tenth amendment?

"It has become"... sad but true.
Wasn't it on this list some years back where some talked of serving SC 
members (in a restaurant) while they were having a meal with established 
lobbyists?
Fixing this in 'todays' world is going to be a tough nut to crack.
