Yeah, your common sense tells you if some Judge rules that Blacks can be made slaves again then it must "law", or that when the Governor, the House of Representatives and the President of the United States all agree that Terri Schiavo is being violated by a backwards county judge that they cannot reverse or overule this judge's ruling. They are merely helpless bystanders. I say 'nonsense'. I believe the Constitution gives superior power and authority to our elected representatives over the judiciary.
And BEAR IN MIND that the appeals Courts do not judge anything on the merits of the original case, they merely look at the reason for the appeal and decide whether or not to have a full appelate hearing. The United States Congress ordered judge Wittemore to hold a full appelate trial for Terri Schiavo, and he just thumbed his nose at them all.
Not even the Supreme Court could declare slavery to be legal.
And bye the way, I love you to.
