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).

"I do not forget the position assumed by some that constitutional questions are to be decided by the Supreme Court, nor do I deny that such decisions must be binding in any case upon the parties to a suit as to the object of that suit, while they are also entitled to very high respect and consideration in all parallel cases by all other departments of the Government. And while it is obviously possible that such decision may be erroneous in any given case, still the evil effect following it, being limited to that particular case, with the chance that it may be overruled and never become a precedent for other cases, can better be borne than could the evils of a different practice. At the same time, the candid citizen must confess that if the policy of the Government upon vital questions affecting the whole people is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court, the instant they are made in ordinary litigation between parties in personal actions the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned their Government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."

"You seem … to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions; a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy."
