Question.
What remedy is there if the SC and Congress support the Executive Branch against the Constitution? Since the 17th A was ratified, the individual states have lost the ability to recall Senators that vote contrary to the states wishes. Representatives seem to ignore their constituents in favor of voting with "their party", even when it's in violation of the Constitution.

The Executive Branch seems to hold the Constitution in contempt. The SC is supposed to determine if a law or Executive Order is Constitutional and that doesn't seem to be working out. The States and the People seem to have lost control of our government, IMHO. What's left?
