Self styled geniuses ala little Megyn Kelley of FOX News, are just beside themselves because people such as Chief Justice Moore are beginning to buck against the recent insanity emanating from the supremely misguided court. Little Megyn and her ilk believe the court should have the power to say anything it wants to say, and the rest of us will all just have to learn to live with it. The argument against that kind of lemming like acceptance goes like this; since the court has run over the long cherished idea of Constitution-protected state sovereignty in mindlessly legalizing same sex marriage, they could conceivably make any absurdity imaginable, legal. I heard one man put it thusly, "the court could even rule that the legislature could no longer write law. If the court holds absolute power, then we no longer have a democracy."
One great patriot who faced down and defied the court when they were wrong was none other than President Abraham Lincoln himself. Following is a partial account of President Lincoln's confrontation with the SCOTUS, involving the concept of judicial supremacy. It seems that in the mind of Mr Lincoln at least, the judiciary, like the executive, cannot suspend or override the authority of the other coequal branches, even in matters of great interest and dispute. In other words the SCOTUS cannot, under the strict dictates of the Constitution, write law.

"Lincolnâs position on slavery in the territories and the Supreme Courtâs decision in Dred Scott were in direct contradiction. Today it seems clear that Lincolnâs interpretation of the Constitution was right and the Supreme Courtâs interpretation was wrong â horribly, willfully wrong. Yet, was Lincoln not bound to regard the Supreme Courtâs decision against his position as deciding the matter? Indeed, are not all public officials, and all citizens, obliged to treat the Courtâs decisions as settling constitutional questions, whether they agree with those decisions or not?"
