no branch is superior to any other.

Then reconsider your position, because I believe your position is based upon a theory that the president is required to defer to the Supreme Court when it comes to interpreting the Constitution (i.e., that the Supreme Court's opinion is "superior" to the opinion of the president), even when the language of the Constitution clearly protects life.

“Then reconsider your position, because I believe your position is based upon a theory that the president is required to defer to the Supreme Court when it comes to interpreting the Constitution “

Seriously that is your point. Of course the Executive Branch is subordinate to the Supreme Court when it comes to “interpreting the Constitution” & laws.

Just as the USSC is subordinate to the Executive Branch when it comes to enforcing the law.

Quick primer - Legislature makes the law, Courts interpret the law, and Executive enforces the law. I think I learned that in the 8th grade civics class from Mrs. Anderson. Tough old bird who loved our country.
