I think we need to have a resurrection of the defiant response of Andrew Jackson to a Supreme Court ruling, "the Supreme Court has ruled, now let them enforce it". I realize that such a position should only be undertaken in the most extreme of cases, but when the court makes such blatently unconstitutional rulings, Marbury v Madison be dammned. Alan Keyes made a very pertinent point during the 2001 presidential debate, that all three branches of government have a duty to honestly interpet the constitution. Keyes said that he would refuse to enforce any SC ruling that he felt was obviously unconstitutional, and that it was Congress's duty to impeach him if they felt such an action was improper.

I realize that it would take a politician of extraordinary courage (or stupidity, take your pick) to do such a thing. I have simply become sick and tired of hearing that the SC has spoken and that is the final word on the matter. We need to revisit this whole issue of Marbury vs Madison.

The one good thing about the Texas case is that we can now point to the fact that stare decisis would appear to no longer apply with this court as they have completely reversed themselves on Bower v Hardwick. Roe V Wade look Out!!!!!

There is often a very fine line between them.

The 'most extreme of cases' have been breeding like rabbits.
