FYI...
The “Law of the Land” once also held that one man could own another as property.
So did Trump and others. Shows lack of understanding of SCOTUS’ limitations of their authority.
So I guess Dredd Scott and Kuramatsu still is the law of the land too!
You owe an apology to Romney for the comparison. Even he wasn’t that dense. If Fiorina thinks we live in a dictatorship run by a committee of five judges, then there is no reason for a congress or a president.
Good bye! No further consideration of you is warranted.
I don’t really care what Fiorina said. She’s not a trustworthy or worthwhile candidate for President. We need someone MUCH better than that.
Regarding the law of the land, a SCOTUS decision based on a good-faith effort to apply the Constitution as written and originally understood and intended, is certainly a valid interpretation of a federal law and thus certainly is part of the law of the land.
A SCOTUS decision, congressional legislation, or a Presidential act that is not authorized by the Constitution as written and originally understood and intended, is NOT the law of the land (ART VI, CL 2, U.S. Constitution).
So did Trump. (tagline)
Fiorina said that Kim Davis was an elected official. and it was “her duty to obey the law of the land.” I’m sure this is on video because it was on Fox News when Davis was sent to jail for not issuing marriage licenses. Obviously, Fiorina isn’t ready for prime time and has opposing viewpoints on every issue.

Nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
I don't see anything in there that says a person can "choose" to kill another person because they are inconvenient, the person's father is a criminal or any other reason.
Yet another adherent to the philosophy of “settled law” and, by extension, a denier of the separation of powers and the Constitution as the foundation of our laws.
i fail to see why we are getting so involved in this as Christians.
Our job is to accept Jesus and to spread his word. We can bring the word to man but cannot make him read it. It is not for us to judge them because we do know that they will be judged when it counts the most.
If it is an interpretation of law, then so be it. We cannot change this sin by committing more sins (judging, lying). All we do is hurt the credibility of the Word.
I am not saying that we need accept them but to just ignore them. They are committing an afront to God, but not to my faith in God for I know he will deal with them in due time.
Congress can take jurisdiction over marriage away from the Federal courts without a Constitutional amendment. It's one of those Tenth Amendment thingies.
