I agree with Dukie here. The Supreme Court (and other courts) have been filled with people who believe in a "living Constitution" and no longer rule on whether new laws are "Constitutionaly legal" or not so these rulings from the '70s and '80s were made by the same people that taught Bill and Hillary how to be socialists.

Do you understand the principle of stare decisis? These rulings are from lower courts and were routinely denied cert, which means that they were in conformance with pre-existing precedent...which dates back to the Legal Tender cases (Knox vs. Lee and Parker vs. Davis) of 1871.

No, I do not. I also don't understand economic theories about the "velocity of money," but that doesn't mean that I can't read and interpret the Constitution and what the founders declared money should be.

Whoopie ding! Courts have been a weak link in the Constitutional form of government from the beginning of our Rebublic. They have tended to be a rubber stamp for a form of Corporate Capitalism (fascism) that the founding fathers never intended.

Let's go back to my previous question to you. Do you cite court cases when defending abortion, Social Security, welfare, etc. If so you must be a Liberal and don't belong on this forum.

PS Just cause the court says so doesn't make it so.
