The definition of a bogus decision being any one that you disagree with?

Well, well, well .... pot calls kettle black.

You will now rush to defend both Roe and Dred Scott for our amusement -- just to be consistent.

Tell us how finely reasoned Dred Scott was, how masterfully Wm. O. Douglas educated us about penumbras and interstices, and how the bigots needed to be slapped down in Roe.

Perhaps you'd like to take a shot at overturning Colorado's Proposition 2, and California's Proposition 8 while you're at it -- the People can be wrong, after all, in your book, and need federal courts to show them their chains.

So signify to us -- in what do the People err, when Roe rises in their gorges? Surely you will slap them down, to defend the authority of the Supreme Court and their superordinating power to invent stuff not in the Constitution.

Show us the Constitution alive, you and your soulmate Al Gore.

I will recognize them as valid Supreme Court decisions, which I disagree with. But as much as I may disagree with the court's decision that doesn't make abortion illegal just because I proclaim the decision bogus. Likewise you can howl and rage all you want about Texas v. White and claim it's bogus until you're blue in the face. That doesn't change the fact that unilateral secession as practiced by the Southern states is illegal and will remain illegal until the Constitution is amended or a future court overturns the decision.

As for Scott v. Sandford, defending that one is a Southern thang.
