Since you don't understand the role of the USSC it is not difficult to see why you don't understand many of the issues here. Obviously a nation that claims to have a Law of the Land cannot have dozens of intrepretations as to what that Law is without chaos erupting. Misunderstanding this point means you don't understand what a Constitution even is. Yet, in your ignorance, you call me "pig-headed."

The Court is not "sovereign" over the Constitution but is established to be its ultimate interpreter. That was never in question to the Founders. Clearly the People cannot establish a "more Perfect Union" if courts throughout that Union operate with no common understanding of what the Constitution, the fundamental Law, means. That is the role of the USSC as established by the Founders.

I suggest you read some real history and forget the fantasy-laden sources you apparently rely upon.

Oh I understand the role of the Supreme Court. And unlike you, my ears are open and my eyes take in what at first might not seem so agreeable to them, and my peripheral vision -- probably unmathced by one out of a hundred thousand or more.

Here read this:

Article 12

That the freedom of the press is one of the greatest bulwarks of liberty and can never be restrained but by despotic governments
