I’d bet the Supreme Court of today would defer to what the voters (allegedly) said in 2020.

Damn it man, the SC is supposed to uphold the bloody frigging CONSTITUTION, not defer to the voters. How BS your argument is!!!

I am disappointed that you decided to drift towards vulgarity.

But yes, the Supreme Court is supposed to uphold the Constitution. That doesn’t mean they will. A pet peeve of mine is their interpretation of the 6th Amendment. That amendment says that in ALL criminal cases the accused has the right to a jury trial.

No, said the Supreme Court a couple of decades ago. You are only entitled to a jury trial if the penalty is more than 180 days imprisonment. Otherwise, you have no right to ask for a jury trial. Unbelievable, but yet it stands.

So that’s my point. We must see things as they are, not as they should be.

It’s late, so I’m calling it a night. If you have a polite counter-argument, I hope to read it tomorrow. I often learn new things that way.

But if it’s just more vulgarity…best to just let it be.
