I am reminded of a story of a lawyer arguing a case before the Supreme Court. The lawyer was arguing a point of law when one of the justices leaned in and said, "But that's NOT the law!" The lawyer paused for a moment and then said, "It was until you just spoke."Originally posted by My Wife Hates CIV View Post
We can be disappointed or happy about what the court rules, but it is the final legal interpretation of what the Constitution says.
Not specifically to this case, but in general...I do not understand why politicians always come across as so self righteous and offended by rulings they do not like. They constantly say that this or that is against the will of the people. If that is true, why don't we see more Constitutional amendments proposed? Perhaps they should work on persuading people to change than simply pontificating to their base."I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration." - Hillary Clinton, 2003Comment

Not really final, but baring a later court changing it or a constitutional amendment or something similar.

I am thinking right now of Roe. I think that Roe was decided incorrectly. I am sympathetic to the case that changing precedent would cause too many issues. I am also sympathetic to the case that courts need to be able to correct past poorly reasoned decisions.
But yeah, effectively it is the law for at least a while.

I think a liberal justice a few years ago wrote an opinion that there needed to be a constitutional amendment.

Full Freedom isn't easy or cheap. Any right, no matter how stupid it may seem to some, should not be taken from the people without their consent. There IS a process for that. If it is as clear cut as many suggest, then an amendment to the Constitution can be done.Originally posted by Uncle Sparky View Post
I suspect that Americans would rather depend on being able to protect themselves to some extent rather than leaving it totally to the government. And let's face it...does anyone really trust the U.S. Government to protect them?
No matter if it as legal or not, a bunch of Antifa dems could bring their guns to a Biden rally and BANG! BANG! BANG! FREEDOM!
Singling out Trump rallies shows an unfortunate bias that really is part of the problem and not the solution.
The problem is a violent culture that has been fostered by people doing exactly that. Taking sides and being intransigent to the point of taking violent action. This kind of thing normalizes gun violence and, really, violence in general."I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic.

A wise jurist for sure. If only Congress understood where the real power lies. So many people say the courts are to powerful. Bunk! The people have just not exercised the true power through their elected national and state representatives. ANYTHING can be done through a Constitutional Amendment yet somehow we would all rather b1tch and whine as opposed to making anything substantive happen.Originally posted by Jon Miller View Post"I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic.

I think Lincoln ignored the Supreme Court, for a short while. FDR threatened it, and it backed down. The Supreme Court ultimately is the weakest of the 3 branches and the president is probably the strongest. Although not a king, thankfully.

I think it is possible for the Supreme Court to back down.
