What goes round comes round. The issue is about constitutional rights and states rights. Does the federal government, in this case federal courts, have the authority to over ride the constitution of a state. Judge Moore says no. I say no. It will be a very sad thing if the Supreme Court again disregards their mandate, the interp of the constitution, and rules on how they think things should be. It will be time to look for a different place to live.

The USSC's ~job~ is to decide on [interpret] the constitutionality of laws, whichever level [fed/state/local] of government makes them.

Judge Moore says no. I say no. It will be a very sad thing if the Supreme Court again disregards their mandate, the interp of the constitution, and rules on how they think things should be.

You agree that the supreme court can intrepret our U.S. Constitution law, but cannot judge upon those of the states?
Not so. States are bound to our supreme 'Law of the Land'. [see Art. VI.]

It will be time to look for a different place to live.

If states are allowed to violate our constitution, there would soon be no good place to go.
