“Yes.”

So, I guess it doesn’t matter one bit who is on the bench.

“Nothing in the Constitution says I have to agree with their decision in order for it to be valid. Same with you.”

Actually, nothing in the Constitution gives them the power to do what they have done. Their decision in that case is unconstitutional and illegal.

I never said that.

Actually, nothing in the Constitution gives them the power to do what they have done. Their decision in that case is unconstitutional and illegal.

Article 3, Section 2: "In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make." "Jurisdiction" is defined as "the power, right, or authority to interpret and apply the law". Constitutionally they do have that power.
