In post 36 you mentioned the Constitution and said that you often disagree with the USSC.

It is fair game to ask a poster for their opinion on an issue which they are discussing, be it abortion or the constitutionality of a law.

IMO.

Yeah, you asked and I answered. Was it not clear? I'll expand on it. I think that the USSC makes many bad decisions. The Constitution gives them this power. Support for the Constitution also requires me to support the constitutional process for its interpretation. To think that I am not bound by these decisions and can do my own thing based on my own interpretation would actually make me an anarchist. I'm afraid that "I'm going to live my life based on my interpretation and everybody else can go to heck" is NOT supported by the constitution. It's the definition of anarchy. When I don't agree with a decision, I vote for people who have a chance to fix it. Note: That leaves out the Quixote warriors.
