The SCOTUS had the nerve to quote from the AoC, a document of which they had no intention of observing its instruction. They had no right to rule on a matter that was not expressly given them by the document to which they refer. That's a laugh and blatant evidence of the kangaroo crew being on the take of the FedGov. What's the saying, "Possession is nine points of the law"? The FedGov had its judges on the bench, don't you see...

As I am sure you know, there was no Supreme Court prior to the Constitution. That was one of the great failings of the Articles of Confederation. The Supreme Court was created by an Act of Congress (the Federal Judiciary Act) in 1789.

In Marbury v Madison (1803), the Court established the principle of judicial review when it overturned a law passed by congress, as "unconstitutional." Not only is the Suprme Court the arbiter of the meaning and intent of the Constitution, but the are the court of ultimate appeal on all U.S. laws, including those passed by local, county, state, and federal governments, including those laws past under the Articles. The Supreme court had every right to rule on those issues.

You may disagree with the rulings of the courts, but we are a country which respects the rule of law. We can't pick and choose which laws we are going to follow, or which court decisions we are going to respect.
