You did not answer the question. Which Supreme Court ruling found these laws unconstitutional.

There was a wise man who lived on top of a mountain. He was renowned throughout the community as being very wise. One day a brash young man decided to teach him a lesson. He caught a bird and hiding it behind his back, went to the wise man and said, "Pray tell O wise one, what do I have in my hands?"

The wise man said "You have a little bird in your hands."

"Ah yes", said the brash young man, but is the bird dead or alive?

The wise man responded, "The bird is in your hands."

.

.

The law means whatever the court wants it to mean. It has no objective reality so long as they wish it to mean something it does not actually mean.

They will declare it to be whatever they will.

I am not the least interested in the current courts ruling on other issues. If you do not like their ruling, amend the Constitution.

Because it is completely rational to believe that abortion and homosexual marriage are really constitutional rights?

I think you are refusing to acknowledge the often political nature of the court's decisions. You seem to think we are just going to accept that whatever the court rules is founded on law, and not ideological or political preference.

As i've said on so many other issues, the court's rulings impress me not at all.

Was Plessy v Ferguson ever correct? Did the law change, or did the personal preferences of the Judges change?

If you cannot answer my question, just say so. That will be the end of the discussion.

Because DiogenesLamp doesn't like certain SCOTUS rulings he prefers to invoke the previously unknown pre-preamble which grants DiogenesLamp ultimate authority to decide just what the Constitution does & does not mean.
