You are putting an awful lot of (excuse the word) faith in an institution that has reversed itself 127 times beginning with the Warren court.

"The law must be stable, but it must not stand still."

Justice Roscoe Pound (1870 - 1964)

A Supreme Court that never reversed itself would be a meaningless institution.

One that usurps the prerogatives of another branch is a tyrannical and dangerous institution. You may applaud it as a benevolent tyrant today, but a benevolent tyrant can turn brutal with an arbitrary snap of the finger.

This nation was established to be free of tyrants. The ACLU and libertarians are working overtime to re-enthrone tyranny--an anti-god formed in their own godless image.

"A Supreme Court that never reversed itself would be a meaningless institution."

And one that reverses itself constantly is meaningless as well.

IANAL, I don't play one on TV, and I haven't stayed in a Holiday Inn Express,but legal or illegal, I will trust my sense of Constitutionality over that of the creative imaginings and shifting whims of the blacked robed nine.
