Yeah - depending on the matter before it.

I point to the Heller decision, where SCOTUS couldn't even read it's own two page Miller precedent correctly.

It gets respect for the same reason the mafia does, they have the ability and will to use force of violence to get their way. But there is ZIP, NADA, ZERO for moral or logical authority there.

On that we agree. They are lawless. This is the ultimate treason.

As Popeye would say, “I am disgustipated.”

2005, Kelo v. New London — The Supreme Court essentially amended the 5th Amendment to say nothing restricting the usage of Eminent Domain.
New London seized Kelo’s land on the premise that the *projected* revenue increase in taxes satisfied the “for public use” requirement.
