Re the court's recent ruling, and adherence thereto, the phrase "But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such ..."

That is the case since Kelo, since Lawrence, since McConnell v FEC, and now the most recent ruling pulling in lies about the Geneva Convention as law.

Like Andrew Jackson once did, the President should ignore this ruling, and even go beyond Jackson's princibled stand -- officially rebuke the decision, reamrking that the USSC had no aurthority to rule either way on this issue.

The Constitution explicitly grants Congress the power to define the Supreme Court's appellate jurisdiction. See Art. III, sec. 2. The Framers never envisioned, obviously, that the Supreme Court would become the only unchecked institution of the federal government.
