“That’s one aspect of it. My take on it is that the problem is that we have people who promote the idea that our Constitutional rights, and the plain meaning of the Constitution is whatever the last thing the USSC said it was.”
I agree that a huge problem is that we have allowed the Supreme Court to become the end all to constitutional questions. They have created this power for themselves, and it needs to be removed.
To some degree. But Thomas Jefferson said "It is every Americans' right and obligation to read and interpret the Constitution for himself.". To some extent they have that power beacuse we do not exercise that right, and fulfill that obligation, and because we listen to those who submit that the Court's opinion is the only one of any consequence.
