SCOTUS ain't a bunch of dictators. They don't decide what the constitution is. The people decide what the constitution is. They merely interpret the intent of the people and the founders.

No it's not Devil. You can scream and flap your arms all you want. Read more than the Cliff's Notes of Marbury and (maybe) you'll understand that.

Childish & silly argument...They are SUPREME....No one can second guess them...whatever they decide is the supreme law of the land. I don't care that you don't like that....It's the law!

In case you haven't heard........The founding fathers ARE ALL DEAD!!!...where do they do this RESEARCH????

& who decides they are wrong if they decide a case for personal reasons? (Like Bush v Gore)
Answer= NO ONE!! They are SUPREME, thus the name on the building!

That would sum up the moonbats..."the will of the people is childish and silly".

G'night, Devil.

Good night Mike. Gambler's post just brought reality back into perspective for me.
(I'll bet Rick would love nothing better than to just lose himself in a ridiculous legal debate amongst coal burners who have nothing more to worry about!)

Final thought because I missed this post earlier:

You have 4 sentences in that post & all 4 are totally incorrect:

SCOTUS ain't a bunch of dictators....Yes they are & they are appointed for life to keep them above politics & current sentiment.

They don't decide what the constitution is.....Yes they do.

The people decide what the constitution is. ....No they don't...the SCOTUS does.

They merely interpret the intent of the people and the founders.....They can't talk to the founders & they are appointed for life to keep them unaffected by the current, fickle will of the people. (that was the whole point of appointing them for life)



I hope you guys appreciate the college level course I have just given you in Constitutional Law. (you each owe me $1200.00 for tuition!)

For extra credit, here is a link to a detailed essay on Marbury v Madison & its importance:

If the words you projectile vommitted here qualify as "a college level" education then I no longer wonder we the US is losing ground to India and China. You once again conveiniently ignored everything I said and half of the conclusions of Justice Marshall in Marbury. The Federal government should be brought up on RICO charges but no one has the balls to do that.

Inability to admit when you are wrong is a significant character flaw that you & a few others here need to work on.
(since this is in the general "Off Topic" forum, I will not be participating further here so as not to distract other members from reading threads that have some value.... because this has none anymore & has simply devolved into the usual spitting match )

In todays Pittsburgh Post Gazzette the released transcript from 911 states that the shooters mother said that there were weapons in the house & that they were all legal but 911 failed to pass that on to the responding officers. I guess thats considered an honest mistake, tell that to the officers families.

But it always is with you in the middle of it Devil, making false accusations and misguided opinions but then again you were a IRS agent another well loved bureaucrat.

I guess this one has gone far enough...
