No I'm trying to turn it towards nullification. If a branch of the federal government is violating the constitutional separation of powers, state executives are within their right to resist. If they don't, this just keeps edging towards a federal 'decision' that the states are non-entities and that the US is a unitary state.
Porsche, are you actually one of the justices by any chance? Your tone reminds me of the way the bully's side kick talks in a kids cartoon.
I can't imagine why any one would have so much deference to the opinion of a panel of unelected lawyers, who frequently legislate from the bench based on their political desires. I suppose if they decided that 'hate speech' wasn't protected by the 1st amendment, or that possessing handguns wasn't protected by the 2nd (which nearly happened by the way, 4-5), you'd be vigorously declaring "the final word has been had! bend over and accept the 'interpretation' of your masters!".
