You, too, are not understanding my argument. I'm not saying that Moore is wrong for what he wants to do. I'm saying that he is wrong for defying the court order.

Maybe it's necessary to be an attorney to understand the vast difference between those two arguments. If so, I apologize for not being able to articulate this in terms that are understandable. But they are very real.

As for judicial review, this is a very interesting quote:

"The opinion which gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional and what not [Marbury v. Madison], not only for themselves in their own sphere of action, but for the legislative and executive also in their spheres, would make the judiciary a despotic branch." Thomas Jefferson

Uh huh.

My friend, I've got lawyers as hunting mates, as band mates. I've seen too often, first-hand, the analysis paralysis that comes from their being trained to see both sides of an argument. It's why the profession is where it is, today. My respectful recommendation to you is, put the sophistry and over intellectualising aside, and go with your gut feeling on who's right, in this. Cheers, By

Basically, Moore is engaged in a legal temper tantrum. He's stomping his feet and holding his breathe and is refusing to abide by a court decision for the very basic reason that HE DOESN'T LIKE IT. My niece does the same thing when she's told she can't do something she wants to do.

I wonder what his reaction would be if somebody appearing in his court took the same legal position and ignored one of his decisions?
