If Congress Can Decide Any, Then It Must Decide All Constitutional Issues.

It should be plain as day to anyone with reason that if the Senate has the ability to decide what the Constitution says about it's own procedures, then surely the House and Senate must be able to decide the constitutionality of anything. Working together, they should be able to decide to eliminate all filibusters. In fact, since the courts are beholden to the Congress, it is plain as day that the House and Senate should be able to rescind any constitutionally based decisions of any court, including the Supreme Court by simple majority vote of both chambers.

If gongress can decide any,...
The Constitution clearly states that the Senate and House can set their own operating rules and discipline their members.  Why is it do you think that so much time is spent at the beginning of each session setting the rules and electing the leadership.  It is required by the Constitution.

The limits of how much power Congress has on limiting the power of the Courts is an entirely different issue in an entirely different section of the Constitution.
