I see. So, let's just scrap the whole judiciary becaue #3Fan will explain it all.

As you wrote yourself, "I don't read opinions".

I strongly suggest you get to church and enjoy a good sermon... like perhaps the Good Samaritan or the Woman at the Well in John 4.

You do believe that this is a nation under GOD... don't you?

Oh yes, I forgot... You don't read opinion.

No, the judiciary interprets the Constitution into law, but every justice has his own opinion on each line of the Constitution. So the law of the land at any given time depends on who the justices are, with the Constitution as a guide. There is going to be a range where the laws fit in but the laws stay close to the Constitution. So there's no point in reading one person's opinion of the Constitution, because that person's opinion may be at the far end of the range, and you're basically moving the range from the ideal, which is the Constitution. It's much more accurate to just read the Constitution and develop one's own opinion. The justices through history aren't that much smarter than the average informed American.

Nope, I sure don't. I read the founding fathers words and develop my own opinions. I think the founding fathers would approve, they weren't really into a class-based society. Supreme Court justices aren't that much better than the average informed American. Their word is law, though. Someone's has to be. When you have two justices at opposite ends of the range of opinion, that can be a big difference relative to each other.

I strongly suggest you get to church and enjoy a good sermon... like perhaps the Good Samaritan or the Woman at the Well in John 4.

I suggest you read where a country is not to allow outsiders to move in and take over.

You do believe that this is a nation under GOD... don't you? Oh yes, I forgot... You don't read opinion.

God's word is not opinion, it's absolute.
