For as long as this is a government "by the people and for the people", the opinion of the public matters in all branches of government.What you of the mindless left don't grasp is the concept of separation of duties.
The House is the voice of the people. The Senate was to be the voice of the state. The President the executive, and the courts the arbiters of the black letter law.
The courts are not to be guided by popular whim. This is why the court is a lifetime appointment where the house is two years - so the people have control of the house. The senate has been corrupted and serves no purpose now.
If the Supreme Court is to function as intended, the "opinion of the public" doesn't mean shit.For as long as this is a government "by the people and for the people", the opinion of the public matters in all branches of government.
According to your view, only the house is obligated to respect the people - all other branches are dictatorships. You are wrong.
Where in the Constitution does it say that?If the Supreme Court is to function as intended, the "opinion of the public" doesn't mean shit.
Any SCOTUS Justice who believes in mob rule needs to go.
Does anyone here think public opinion should influence SCOTUS decisions?
So you're going to play stupid? What the fuck do you think the function of the Supreme Court is?Where in the Constitution does it say that?
The law does not work on opinion it works on facts and the written statutes,Where in the Constitution does it say that?
It doesn't matter what I or you think the function of the supreme court is. It only matter what the Constitution says.So you're going to play stupid? What the fuck do you think the function of the Supreme Court is?
It says the Supreme Court is the final abettor of the LAW not opinion.It doesn't matter what I or you think the function of the supreme court is. It only matter what the Constitution says.
Please post the article from the Constitution.It says the Supreme Court is the final abettor of the LAW not opinion.

bumpThis what Kagan said: "... if over time the court loses all connection with the public and with public sentiment, that’s a dangerous thing for a democracy,” Kagan said at a judicial conference in Montana. That is a backhanded way of saying the Court ought to base it's rulings at least in part on public sentiment. Which is so wrong, the law should be interpreted blindly and without ANY consideration for what the majority of the people believe. And if the majority of the people don't like it, they can change the damn law or change the judges/justices who interpret it. OR they can leave the issue in question for each state to decide as their constituents direct. THAT is the way a constitutional democracy is supposed to work.
SCOTUS interprets the law, but there is NOTHING barring it from taking public opinion into account.LOL retard much? what do you think a Court DOES?
So you're going to play stupid? What the fuck do you think the function of the Supreme Court is?
The new one just sworn in is out front with it.Kagan is a Marxist with utter contempt for our Constitution.
And you know this how? Your decades long research into SC cases?In almost ALL cases SCOTUS has decided, social norms have been a deciding factor
Don't know if AGREE with her or not.
Do know DISAGREE with the over kill back lash,
IF Court loses All CONECTION that's a big statement.
Think about that for a while.
Its just my guess, What she is saying is that if the court disconnects & only rule on what They want, believe, think.Thought about it. I still want the court to use our Constitution for rulings, not the opinions of the mob.
How about you?
Yes now in that show us where the mobs opinion makes rulings and not the LAW.SCOTUS interprets the law, but there is NOTHING barring it from taking public opinion into account.
In almost ALL cases SCOTUS has decided, social norms have been a deciding factor, not to mention their personal political views.
