Simple question: Are we obligated to respect Supreme Court decisions we disagree with?
Simpler question: Do you? If not, why not? Are we not a nation of laws and not men? Do you read decisions you disagree with or do you mostly get information on them from media/mixed media?
I'm curious because I often find myself agreeing with ideological opponents on issues of law and court decisions.
ex: Citizens United. While I find much of what it allows repugnant, I find much of the decision (absent a few crazy ideas from Kennedy) sound. I ask myself "Don't like it? Why not fight for change?"
