>>It can't be justice if it is in opposition to the Constitution, the Supreme Law of our Nation.

Oddly enough, that's what people said the last time there was a constitutional crisis in Montgomery, Alabama.

And, incidentally, I'd be interested to know why it is that you think that it is improper for the federal judiciary to determine constitutionality. Do you object to Marbury v. Madison?

Thomas Jefferson himself objected to Marbury v. Madison!

"The opinion which gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional and what not [Marbury v. Madison], not only for themselves in their own sphere of action, but for the legislative and executive also in their spheres, would make the judiciary a despotic branch." Thomas Jefferson

Absolutely I object. The Constitution does not say the Fed Judges have exclusive power to determine the meaning of the Constitution.

The POTUS and the Congree and WE THE PEOPLE have just as much right to decide its meaning.

This proud Christian thinks you are right to be embarassed.
