The SC renders an “opinion”, which may or may not be accepted or rejected, but by whom is the question.

We have need of a final, but always constitutional authority.

But, when “up” means “down”, in this strange and divisive era, the Constitution can not stand, under the myriad of opposing definitions.

A careful reading of Madison’s Notes, the Federalist Papers, and other original sources shows that it was assumed that the Supreme Court would have the power to explicate and defend the Constitution.

According to the argument presented here, that would be the states.

It’s always going to come down to a matter of personal opinion. The SCOTUS isn’t final because it’s infallible. It’s infallible because it is final.
