Just wanted to copy you to my answer to Knarf.
That’s not what Marbury says. Nowhere in the opinion does the court lay claim to superiority to any other branch.
Its whole point, summed up, is that no matter what anyone else does or does not do, the court, and every other department or branch, must follow the Constitution. That’s it.
I agree that Obergefell MUST be ignored. It is null and void.
The whole modern judicial supremacist lie is built on one sentence in John Marshall’s 1803 Supreme Court opinion in Marbury vs. Madision. A sentence that has been turned inside out and backwards, making it mean the exact opposite of its true meaning, in context. In fact, nowhere in the opinion does the court lay claim to superiority to any other branch. Marshall’s whole point, summed up, is that no matter what anyone else does or does not do, the court, and every other department or branch, MUST follow the Constitution they have sworn to support and defend. That’s it. Read and comprehend it for yourself, and quit buying the lies.
The summation of Marbury:
“Thus, the particular phraseology of the Constitution of the United States confirms and strengthens the principle, supposed to be essential to all written Constitutions, that a law repugnant to the Constitution is void, and that COURTS, AS WELL AS OTHER DEPARTMENTS, are BOUND by that instrument.”

Thank you.
I’m sure you’ll forgive me for being so adamant about this crucially important matter.
You’re awesome, wagglebee. One of the most important and effective FReepers, as far as I’m concerned.
Thanks for the kind words.
You are to be congratulated! :-)
Thank you!
