What would be your proposed mechanism for making your proposed interpretation effective?
As I think I made clear, I dislike much of what the Court decides, but I recognize that some mechanism to settle disputes, short of war, is necessary.
Your example of the Dred Scott decision is instructive. It was overridden by the people of the USA, but at a cost of 700,000+ dead men, immense financial expense and a long step towards the destruction of the system the Founders intended.
If you have a somewhat less destructive method for overturning Court decisions, I’d sure like to see it.
BTW, no offense, but your comment reminded me somewhat of Bluto in Animal House, “Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?”
I think that horse has left the barn.

Given the way the courts have been deciding a lot of issues, i'm not certain that they have done anything but put off "war" for a little while.
They have certainly severed the nation's laws from the fundamental principles upon which they were based. The "law" now means whatever a judge says it does. I am reminded of the pigs in "Animal Farm."
If you will remember, they were also constantly re-writing the law to mean whatever they wished.

Telling the truth would seem like an obvious tactic. Refusing to accept nonsensical ideas from an Imperial court would seem like another.
But I don't know. Again, it doesn't seem like we really have any easy ways out of this.
