What is the feasibility of suing the Congress as a whole and each representative and senator individually for violating the United States Constitution?

Mark “Snooper” Harvey has an interesting idea:
The other day, I had an idea and in the hopes that it would not die alone, I decided to actually go and see if it was a good idea. That’s the funny thing about ideas. You never know if it is good or not unless you seek council.
My idea was this. Seeing that the anti-Americanists have managed to subvert the judiciary in this nation to the extent that more unconstitutional laws have been passed than constitutional ones, I was wondering if we could use the courts to reverse that trend. One never knows.
So, I went to my attorney that I have used for years for many things and made an appointment for one of those 30-minute free consultations. I presented my idea/desire to my attorney and that 30-minute free consultation lasted more than two hours.
I went armed with facts and data. I took my notes. I took my laptop with the “go anywhere” internet card just in case. I also had everything downloaded onto a zip drive and left it with the firm and they were eager and happy to have the data.

What do you all think about this?

The idea has merit, but I am wondering about the end result. The ballot box according to the Constitution is the approved method along with impeachment. By suing the Reps aren’t you are legislating from the bench. We already have felons, both convicted and un-convicted sitting in Congress and this Administration full of tax scofflaws. It would be an interesting subject for debate.

The problem with impeachment is that the senators would have to try each other, and I think we all know how that would turn out. At least lawsuits would be handled by non-politicians, hired by the people. And it might be nice to set some recent legal precedent for elected officials being required to actually uphold the oaths they take to uphold the Constitution of the United States.
You’re right, Tex, that the electoral process (at least in theory) is the ideal way to get rid of criminals in Congress. I also agree with you that this action could eventually turn into another “legislating from the bench” fiasco, and backfire on us.
It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out.
YO TEX!
The intent is to raise national awareness and if MILLIONS of us go get a 30-minute free consultation, this just might get an awareness rising that our current cabal of unconstitutional charlatans need to be removed, no matter their party affiliation.
