“The court commands no armies, it has no money; it depends for its power on its credibility. The only reason people obey it is because it has that credibility. And the court risks grave damage if it strikes down a statute of this magnitude and importance, and stretches so dramatically and drastically to do it.”
Is this not an out and out threat?
One of the justices should have said, your feelings about us are no relevance to upholding the constitution.
It certainly is a threat on the order of "nice little supreme court you have there, pity if anything were to happen to it." These dreadful people are nothing but common thugs.
