Bullshit, Mr. Attorney General!

The scope of the Supreme Court's purview on judicial review was first set forth over two hundred years ago in Marbury v. Madison, and that purview has expanded inexorably and incrementally ever since. It is precisely the broad review power of the Supreme Court that has effectuated many of the goals of the Civil Rights movement, the effectuation of which have resulted in your appointment to the high office you now hold.

Think about your oath of office, sir, and that of the man to whom you are charged with providing legal counsel. As it stands at this point, you have been weighed in the balance and found wanting. You will have to answer not only to the people of the United States, but to that Great Lawgiver whose writ binds us all.



Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

The SCOTUS can’t just take up a review of a law for the hell of it. A case has to be brought to them concerning a laws constitutionality. There has to be a plaintiff, in this case we are past that point. We do have a plaintiff in this case, several state Attorneys General. it is now under review, all is proper.
