Quoting pre-FDR courts in support of a constitutional argument is not "slavish devotion to courts as the ultimate arbiter of our rights".

Are you defending the unprecedented curtailment of constitutional liberties and the damage inflicted on the least privileged in the US as a legitimate exercise of state power?

No. Are you propping up straw men to do battle with because you have nothing with which to rebut what I have said?

I think that your position does not need to be rebutted. You support Supreme Court decisions that assert that the “community” owns the lives of individuals. I do not support decisions of that sort, because the idea of communities owning individuals is incompatible with our founding values. I suspect that we have irreconcilable opinions which will not be swayed by argument. I have been quite clear in my position. You disagree. I accept that. I hope you are never placed in a situation where the “community” decides that it owns your life.
