In exactly 22 seconds during a late-night television appearance, Democrat Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez showcased her lack of understanding how the United States government works. Ms. AOC literally gets the construct of our government reversed.
According to AOC it is “the responsibility of the president and congress to put the Supreme Court in check.”
Exactly the opposite is true.
It is the literal role and responsibility of the Supreme Court to check the constitutional validity of the legislative and executive branch. The supreme court exists, almost exclusively, to keep the president and congress in check. WATCH:

I give her a D in Civics 101. So, if you want to check and balance SCOTUS' ruling introduce a constitutional amendment guaranteeing a womans right to have an abortion. Why do you think Lincoln insisted on passing the 13th amendment outlawing slavery in America? Because there was nothing in the Constitution that would stop states from still having it after the Civil War.
What a moron.

For decades Democrats have become used to using the Courts to get what they knew they could never obtain in the Legislative process, through an activist Court system.
It then produced lazy politicians who didn't have to make tough choices, or to actually compromise.
Ask Harry Reid who decided they needed a Democrat majority more than they needed to maintain the General Order budget process so he created the never-ending Continuing Resolution process that simply takes the previous budget, adds a percentage for cost of living, a bit more for good measure, and it's passed as the budget.
Eliminated all of the Legislative items that used to craft budgets and programs. It also removed the ability to eliminate or reduce any spending item. Thus, everyone thing and everyone gets an increase each year regardless if the program is still needed. Congress no longer enjoys the "power of the purse" to shape and make budgets under this system.

"Twit"...yes, the Executive and the Legislative branches CAN overturn a Supreme Court declaration about the unconstitutionality of a Law. By "Amending the Constitution". No other way...and it isn't just a slim majority in the House and Senate than can do so...both need to pass it by 2/3rds majorities, then get 3/4ths of the States to Ratify it.
Unless or until they write something deemed unconstitutional into the Constitution itself, it IS unconstitutional and remains such. That IS what the Supreme Court is there for.
Every Gang Rape and every Lynching IS a democratic event, simple majorities cannot simply ignore the Law and other peoples Rights.
"An amendment may be proposed by a two-thirds vote of both Houses of Congress, or, if two-thirds of the States request one, by a convention called for that purpose. The amendment must then be ratified by three-fourths of the State legislatures, or three-fourths of conventions called in each State for ratification."

Any country that tolerates communists in its government probably deserves the failures that will inevitably befall such a country and its communist-tolerant populace. Tolerating ignorant and entitled communists is even worse.

Quite apart from the fact that she clearly knows nothing about the constitution or judicial review, what SCOTUS did this term was hand power back over to congress, to HER! Dumb as a stack of bricks.
