Local Ordinances vs. Constitution

Name one.

There’s also the depressing political aspect, where the Supreme Court has some ideological make-up, on the basis of Presidential appointments. It is horribly possible for the court to say Yes one day, and No the next. At least one Supreme Court Justice has publicly regretted a vote on a decision.

We have, in our history, been pretty lucky in our Justices; there haven’t been too many who were arrogantly ideological, in a kind of Humpty Dumpty fashion, decreeing that it means what they say it means. But there is, ultimately, no protection against that, any more than against a runaway Congress or a tyrannical President.

That’s one right there.

Ascenray, Exapno Mapcase, and Trinopus, dial it back. I am not going to try to sort out who said what to whom, or who is accusing another poster of what. Stop making the discussion personal. No warnings issued.
