Yeah...let's completely ignore contributions to our Constitution from Europe.I'm talking about the supreme court rulings. You have to wonder if they've ever read the ConstitutionYeah, throw the bums out for not being the elected officials they were never intended to be. And, man oh man, if one of them performs his Constitutional duties by deciding what is Constitutional and what is not then let's string 'em up because someone in a trailor park sees it differently.
If they did their Constitutional duties and enforced the Constitution, then there wouldn't be a problem. The problem is they don't limit the other branches to doing only Constitutional things, which is their duty and they legislate, which isn't their duty
First off, the Supreme Court doesn't just say "Hey, we need to look at that law you guys jjust passed!", it has to bubble up to them through the courts.
Secondly, there are many interpretations about what is Constitutional and what is not. That is why you have a Supreme Court molded by the elected offices of the Executive and Legislative branches and a step away from on-demand democracy where opinions are more volatile. It's a pretty good system, not perfect, there is no such thing.
Anyway, I wish you guys luck in nothing coming of this.![]()
Do you ever read their decisions, Kaz? You know they have to clearly and in detail explain their decisions and how they follow the Constitution and Constitutional precedence.
You mean like when they cite foreign laws. Yeah, it's a gas, or it would be if it didn't fuck us so badly
