This is a duplicate of the Giuliani program in NYC. It’s about time courts started knocking down this abomination.

I believe this is your post #33

So if they’re knocking down something you disagree with everything is hunky dory but if you don’t agree they’re power hungry mongrels.

Uh, no. My stance is that the clear language of the Constitution, and the Founders’ intent based on the Declaration of Independence and the Federalist papers, are the standard by which all government action must be judged. When the courts overturn unConstitutional laws based on the Constitution and the Founders’ intent, then I support the courts. When the courts uphold unConstitutional law (or try to write it), then I oppose the courts.

You’re the one who is arguing for arbitrary standards (i.e., “Constitutional” means whatever the Supreme Court says it means, today). I’m arguing for a consistent standard that does not change except when we the People change the Constitution itself via the amendment process.
