That's not entirely correct, in fact it's mostly incorrect.what was nicely done? he said nothing. but then again, neither of you have the slightest understanding that it is not the court decisions which violate human rights, but bigots who violate human rights.
How many times can one person be wrong in a single thread. OF COURSE a court ruling can violate human rights.
How did Loving vs Virginia end up before the Supreme Court, for instance, oh that's right because a court in Virginia originally violated civil rights.
With regard to Loving, the state of Virginia violated its residents' civil rights as the consequence of an anti-miscegenation measure, a product of the state's legislative branch of government, not the judicial.
Oh, now I see why you disliked my post. You weren't smart enough to understand it.
Loving started as a CRIMINAL matter and went before a State court in Virginia which upheld the law, effectively violating the defendant's rights. Upon appeal they eventually reached SCOTUS which reversed the lower court's opinion and upheld their rights.
Or did you think they were arrested in Virgina and taken directly before SCOTUS?
