I have thought about it, a great deal.

Looking at the exact times associated with our posts, you thought about it for about 3 minutes.

Recommended reading ... "The Supreme Court" by William Rehnquist.

In that book, Rehnquist writes (on page 279)...

"If the Supreme Court wrongly decides that a law enacted by Congress is constitutional, it has made a mistake, but the result of it's mistake is only to leave the nation with a law duly enacted by the popularly chosen members of the House of Representatives and the Senate and signed into law by the popularly chosen president. But if the Court wrongly decides that a law enacted by Congress is not constitutional, it has made a mistake of considerably greater consequence; it has struck down a law duly enacted by the popularly elected branches of government, not because of any principle in the Constitution but because of the indidual views of desirable policy held by a majority of the nine justices at that time."

That my friend, is brilliant thinking.

Can my post be corrected? I spelt the word individual as indidual.
