The fact that each branch has an independent duty to interpret the Constitution is discussed in the first week of constitutional law class.

You are talking as if the Branches can nullify laws they independently determine are unconstitutional. That seems v dubious ground to me.

It's how our system works. LB makes laws. EB executes laws. JB resolves cases under law. Each branch interprets Const'n w/r/t its functions.

The executive discretion is narrow. otherwise Rule of law is at the whim of the person in power.

This again supports fact that each branch must independently interpret and uphold Constitution. We each take an oath to follow Constitution.
