You apparently do not know how our government works. State constitutions cannot override Federal Constitutional guarantees. For example, a state cannot ignore the 2nd amendment any more than it can ignore the 14th amendment.If it's in the state constitution you do. Federal laws only apply when dealing with federal entities.
You're confused. Its not Federal law that the judge is applying. Its constitutional rights that the judge is guaranteeing. And State constitutions are most definitely subject to constitutional guarantees.
And if it is indeed in the state constitution, it isn't unconstitutional.
It is if it violates the rights and privileges of US citizens. Or applies the law unequally to any US citizen.
As the rights guaranteed in the US constitution trump any State constitution.
You are the one who is confused, maybe you should learn the differences between state and federal law, and also how those laws can and can't be applied. Let me say this again. If it is in their state constitution, it would need to be voted on to ratify. A judge cannot override constitutional law. In your liberal dream world where hopes and wishes overrule reality that works. In the real world there are checks and balances.
And again, it is only unconstitutional if it violates the constitution. And when it is concerning state law, and state authorities the state constitution applies. When dealing with federal entities, the federal constitution applies.
And yet several States and local governments repeatedly violate the 2nd amendment, and liberal assholes applaud it.
How does this federal judge propose to enforce her decision if the probate judges refuse to cooperate? Those judges are elected officials, not appointed ones.
And what happens if the States violate the 2nd Amendment?
Someone sues them- like what happened in this case in Alabama- and a court decides whether or not the 2nd Amendment is being violated.
Voters in San Francisco voted a gun ban- and the court overturned it.
Conservative assholes applaud the courts when they agree with the ruling, and call them tyrants when they don't.
I applaud the court when they do their fucking job, which is to clarify, not create or destroy. And the courts seem to be doing a hell of a job in NYC of protecting my gun rights, considering the local judges laugh at any attempt to enforce said gun rights via lawsuits.
