Can you point out where the Constitution says that what Gutzman says overrules what the Supreme Court says on what is Constitutional and what is not? Disagree with the decision all you want to, that doesn't make unilateral secession legal when the court said it was not.

What I can do is recognize a faulty decision by the Court.

Shall we rehash our earlier discussion about the Supreme Court decision that said a tomato was a vegetable and not a fruit?

What you can do is say that you disagree with the decision of the court. The fact that you and Gutzman disagree with it doesn't make it faulty.

No, because if I recall you're logic was faulty there as well. The Supreme Court ruled that the tomato was a vegetable for tariff purposes, and there is nothing flawed or illogical in that. "Vegetable" is a culinary term and not a botanical term. Tomatoes are botanically a berry, but are considered a vegetable in the culinary world because they are not sweet and are not served as a fruit but are instead served as part of the main course or in salads. Cucumbers, pumpkins, squash, and peppers are all botanically fruit, though are commonly classified as vegetables. Likewise mushrooms are considered vegetables even though they are a fungus, broccoli is considered a vegetable even though they are a flower, carrots are considered a vegetable even though they are a root, and so forth and so on. The Supreme Court decision in Nix v. Heddon was entirely proper.
