Thank you for taking the time to explain your reasoning.
Relatively few Supreme Court decisions are unanimous. Some of the greatest jurists in our country (and I would by no means claim all 9 of the current justices fall in that category) can be presented with a substantial record developed by the lower courts, hear oral arguments, deploy a team of clerks to research precedents, argue with their peers and still come down on different sides of a case.
It's not because those jurists don't understand the law, haven't done their homework, haven't given deep thought - they simply have a different interpretation of a given set of facts.
I respect your interpretation of Minor - I think you have given a lot of thought to the matter, done research and arrived at a conclusion in good faith. So have I. I just don't happen to agree with your interpretation of the facts at this time - although the entire discussion has given me much to continue to ponder. As I see it, that is one of the purposes of discussion.
I appreciate having your explanation. I don't feel any purpose is served in picking it apart. The horse is not only dead, it's beginning to rot. There is a time to let this discussion go, and I think it is now.
Eventually, the people in black robes will probably decide the matter - baring the revelation of new facts.
Forget everything I said. You are right, the horse is well dead and rotting under our noses. The United States no longer exists. What’s left of the union of the states no longer exists. We have 50 Sovereign nations now, if they have the balls to stand up to the tyrant of the Federal Government. The Constitution is dead.
I know whats coming down the pipe. I can’t talk about how I know. So don’t ask. This country is SCREWED. Anyone born here can be POTUS now. ANYONE. It’s a done deal.
This will go to SCOTUS eventually, but I can see the handwriting on the wall. The Constitution is GONE. The Damned liberal progressives have won. Welcome to slavery. Freedom is dead. The rule of law is dead. The Great Experiment is over. We lose.
FU*K YOU OBAMA. FU*K YOU LIBERALS. May your own damned-able actions curse you and your families for 7 generations. I will hate them forever for doing this. I am ashamed to say I even LIVED in this era. I am horrified to be watching it unfold.
Pardon me, I seriously need to go vomit.
Curse you to a hell of your own making Malihi.
