Marbury V. Madison ??? Supreme law of the Land (ranting)
Published 1 year ago
That other thing is, who is to decide if a law contradicts or interferes with the Constitution's authority? Did the Constitution say Judicial Branch? In an article published at Cornell, they went so far to say that they didn't even explicitly state for there to be a separation of powers, but didn't say explicitly state that they should all be together either.
Now, Marshall makes this huge statement on how the Supreme Court gets to decide on Constitutionality on issues. Boom! All of this power that he just granted a group of people with which would be just as corrupt as some elected officials. Lincoln and his executive order called the Emancipation Proclamation. Boom! All of this power. It is like, they sat in this corner pondering to themselves, how can I give myself more power? And someone yells, 'I know destroy the constitution and call it the USA PATRIOT ACT.'
This Supreme Law of the Land, where was that phrase coined? It doesn't say Supreme United States Constitution or Supreme Declaration of Independence. And if no state may contradict or interfere with their authority then that is something rather scary.
Word choices: pick yours~ Pro-life/Pro-choice and/or Anti-Abortion/Pro-Abortion
Now, in South Dakota, doctors are forced "to inform women that abortions “terminate the life of a whole, separate, unique living human being” — using exactly that language —"
"this past June, the full United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit voted 7 to 4...allow the statute to take immediate effect. The majority argued that it is objectively true that human life begins at conception, and that the state can force doctors to say so."
This occurred in June 2008. So, this Constitution is the highest law; who argues with that? I don't know. But who is to tell me that the Supreme Court is the one to rule on it? Do we have a law saying so? The statute was created out of thin air and should hold up like a steel brick floats in thin air.
This strategy by the Founding Fathers was to create in their minds to attempt a balance among people. Spending two months without air conditioning arguing over a cause of hope that this document could somehow work.
Yes, they left a lot out and thereby flawed, but in order to fix it, certain laws in place would need to be fixed along with certain practices that are in place such as the "Supreme Law of the Land" That is too much power! Executive orders are too much power! These powers were not granted to them in Constitution nor have the people or legislators passed laws to allow it.
