Leahy constitutional?

Is it legal for a Senator to allegedly attempt to subvert a valid ruling made by a sitting federal judge?

If the con­gress had every oppor­tu­ni­ty to con­sid­er this issue before then why is it now some­how more impor­tant?

Now that a Fed­er­al Judge has made a rul­ing con­cern­ing the abil­i­ty of the Gov­ern­ment to force a man against his will to buy or make a pur­chase of a prod­uct.

Right­ly so, the result is that in fact not only is it ille­gal, but could and per­haps even should be con­sid­ered crim­i­nal.

So now we have Sen­a­tor Leahy which is now call­ing for hear­ings, on the con­sti­tu­tion­al­i­ty of this same issue.

Since, we have a sep­a­ra­tion of pow­ers in this nation, Con­sti­tu­tion­al­i­ty, is a pri­ma­ry con­cern.

Depend­ing on what the Sen­a­tor plans to try and do, this could be con­sid­ered ille­gal and per­haps even the sen­a­tor could be in con­tempt of a fed­er­al court by attempt­ing to sub­vert a valid con­sti­tu­tion­al rul­ing by a sit­ting Fed­er­al Judge, this could be a sig­nif­i­cant issue, which appar­ent­ly the Sen­a­tor has not ful­ly con­sid­ered.

So how can one man, a demo­c­rat, who alleged­ly may have a vest­ed inter­est in this Health care law, per­haps be step­ping into a big mess here.

It is of inter­est to see how the Sen­a­tor may act in this instance, because our Con­sti­tu­tion is clear on this issue and it has been decid­ed by a Fed­er­al Judge, so the sep­a­ra­tion of pow­ers comes into play, the Sen­ate is not the Judi­cial branch, it is the Leg­isla­tive branch, which means that if they try to do some­thing here that may be con­sid­ered crim­i­nal could the Sen­a­tor actu­al­ly be Arrest­ed?

That might sound amaz­ing but it could be true, if the Sen­a­tor takes steps to inval­i­date a rul­ing made by a Fed­er­al Judge, which would pit two branch­es of gov­ern­ment against one  anoth­er.
