Exactly correct.
Yes.
“According to our legal system it is settled law. You are missing the point.”
I am MAKING a point. The point is the ‘legal system’ as you put it, is NOT the final arbiter. I have stated as much if you would read more carefully. The ACA and Roe v Wade rulings are seriously flawed - surely you know that I hope.
When We the People say it’s settled, then it’s settled.
A gay marriage is a happy marriage. Two men or two women cannot join in matrimony. Holy or otherwise. Homosexual men and homosexual women can marry.
Get caught for speeding and argue that the speed limit you violated is not settled law since it can be changed in the future ...
Well then don’t make it seem as if I didn’t acknowledge that Sessions is saying what is needed to be said.
I know you’re trying to appear ‘smart’, but going on like this just makes you a pain in the @$$.
Anarchis?
Anarchism?
Faulty reasoning. Apples and oranges.
Why don’t you go roundup some cattle, cowboy? Have a good day and go bother someone else.
I am acknowledging that ...
But he is also answering correctly.

According to our present legal system, nothing is ever “settled law” and that is our real problem.
If there were such a thing as settled law, abortion, affirmative action, and same sex marriage would not exist.

Only a pain in the assignment for someone not willing to acknowledge the obvious.
We prosecute based on settled law. If there were no settled law the we couldn’t prosecute.

How do you think we got to this mess?
We can’t prosecute anything anymore unless it is politically correct.

To be fair this is how he has to respond. It is his role the enforce the law. As AG he can urge for a change in the law but must respect as it is until such time that it is corrected. Unless of course you are a left wing hack like Lynch.
I bet he never said “my people” though...:^)
Sounds like a dog and pony show.
“Then I guess the Dred Scott decision is still the law. “
Are you referring to the ruling that a non-citizen has no right to sue in the US federal court system?
“Then I guess the Dred Scott decision is still the law. “
I guess you missed the class on the USS constitution. I will refer you to Article XIV:
Privileges and Immunities of Citizenship, Due Process, and Equal Protection)
1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
