I guess I haven't exactly gone out of my way to ingratiate myself with you.

Sucking up to me would not have changed my opinion of you.

You might read the Constitution again, for the first time

I might suggest the same to you.

Your comment brings to mind what retired Judge William J. Palmer (Superior Court of California for Los Angeles County) wrote...

Your contempt for the judiciary only extends to the Federal courts? Is that what you're saying?

“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

And your point is? It is clear from a reading of the Constitution that the makers intent was that the power to admit states was reserved to the United States, and the power to approve any change in their status once admitted was also a power reserved to the United States as well. That would include leaving. Or so Chief Justice Chase ruled in the Texas v. White decision.

You might think so because of my boyish innocence, encyclopedic (but not bookish) knowledge, generous spirit, even temperament, and fun-loving - yet approachable - personality. I like to take walks.

Yet, I do have a stern sense of justice. I am strongly opposed to judges that vote to kill babies; legislators that vote to kill babies; and executives that support killing babies.

So, no it is not just the feral judiciary.
