Can DC Legally Stop Residents From Owning Handguns? (SCOTUS amicus brief)

"And since the DC Court decision already contradicts the Miller Court"

Interesting that you'd admit that.

"if the Supreme Court contradicts the DC Court, then the DC Court decision will be WRONG?"

No, it would be null and void.

"So If I was to tell you that I see four people and two dogs"

Hey, the U.S. Supreme Court saw a right to abortion in a penumbra of an emanation and that stood as law. They saw nude dancing as protected "speech" and that stood as law.

So if you see four people and two dogs, who am I to question it? Maybe you do. Which is why I didn't ask you.

"What about prior to Marbury?"

The courts had the power, but never made it official.

"If the Supreme Court ruled that involuntary servitude was legal in all cases, would that be the meaning of the Constitution?"

Or wait. What if they ruled the moon was made of green cheese? Oh, I got it. What if they said William Tell's analogies were dumb?

So if you see four people and two dogs, who am I to question it? Maybe you do. Which is why I didn’t ask you.

So you knew how I would answer before you asked?????????/

What you are indicating is that there are basically as many different opinions on everything as there are people. Since everyone is right and wrong at the same time we have anarchy.

The Supreme Court is just as right and wrong as everyone else.

The constitution is just as right and wrong as everyone else and has no correct interpretation because what one person sees everyone else sees completely different.

You have certainly explained how you come up with such wacky interpretations for obvious things like the 2d amendment but in the real world there are certainties and definitive laws that most sane people agree on.

The left is the only place where such wacky ideas take hold because they want to change the world to their view against reality.

Apparently you are solidly on the left or you would not have such bizaar interpretations.

"So you knew how I would answer before you asked?????????/"

Knew? No. Guessed.

And guessed correctly.

"What you are indicating is that there are basically as many different opinions on everything as there are people."

Some are the same.

"Since everyone is right and wrong at the same time we have anarchy."

An opinion is right or wrong? Wait, let me guess. If someone agrees with you, they're right. If they disagree, they're wrong. Meaning you are the source of ultimate truth.

Wow! I never realized that. Given that fact, can you answer a question for me? The 6th amendment mentions a right to a "speedy" trial. What exactly is that timeframe?

"The constitution is just as right and wrong as everyone else and has no correct interpretation because what one person sees everyone else sees completely different."

Because of that, the U.S. Supreme Court in 1803 declared itself the ultimate arbitor of the U.S. Constitution. I suppose you have a better solution? Perhaps "the people" should decide these constitutional issues?

Well, if we can pry them away from Wheel of Fortune for just a minute, maybe they could give us their clearly reasoned opinions about ERISA pre-emption, the doctrine of equivalents in patent law, limitation of liability in admiralty, and supplemental jurisdiction under Section 1367.

Ya think?

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness.... Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, And prudent in their own sight!" Isaiah 5:20-21

How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? For scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge.... I have called and you refused, I have stretched out my hand and no one regarded, Because you disdained all my counsel, and would have none of my rebuke, I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your terror comes, When your terror comes like a storm, and your destruction comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you. Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me. Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the Lord, They would have none of my counsel and despised my every rebuke. Therefore they shall eat the fruit of their own way, And be filled to the full with their own fancies." Proverb 1:8-31
