What’s really being argued on here is who constitutes the sovereign power in the United States - the people as represented through their respective States who acceded to and established the Constitution, or the SCOTUS, which only exists as an instrument of that Constitution.

I say the people and their respective States are the sovereign power, even above and beyond the word of the SCOTUS.

“I say the people and their respective States are the sovereign power”

Indeed they are, ultimately and while they consent to it for all those powers not delegated to the federal government. That is the meaning if the 10th amendment. Which is why I brought it up, and all the other poster can do is scratch his head and say the 10th wasn’t one of the major arguments brought before SCOTUS or argued in the media, so it must not apply.
