Should the SCOTUS void a states anti-nose picking law, hypothetically? Or do states have the right to pass silly laws?

Yes. The only legit function of government is protection of individual Rights. While my neighbors nostril farming my be disgusting to me, it in no way infringes on my Rights. Especially when the law specificly states that it is OK for brown haired people to pick their noses, but not redheads.

I can't agree. Why have states if the Federal Supreme Court can go around invalidating silly laws? I fear federalism is dead.
