Immigration Takes Guts And Desperation

Beef Wrote:There may be problems with laws today, but you are totally wrong on what you mentioned above. The Supreme Court is right because they interpret the Constitution and see if the laws follow the constitution but the Supreme Court is NOT final. Big Difference. The states have the final say. To overturn the Supreme Court then we must have a Constitutional Amendment. This requires approval by 2/3 of BOTH houses of Congress as well as approval of 3/5 of the States. So don't like how the Supreme Court rules? Then get out and support people who will make the changes. The people of our Great country ALWAYS have the final say. We are a country "for the People and by the People".

Do you think, Beef, the "great people" of the American south would have voted to allow African American students into Alabama or Mississippi or Arkansas without federal troops? Why is Roe v. Wade the rule of the land? The Supreme Court ruled it a constitutional right for a woman to choose, within certain guidelines. Some people believe that is the law because the Supreme Court was not right, but had a final say. Thank you for the civics lesson, which, of course, states the dream of America, which I very much admire. Every once in a while, hope breaks in and justice prevails, but I fear, in the end, monied interests and the industrial/military complex make a sham of the dream of America. I don't believe in majority rule; I believe in constitutional democracy, where the people have a say within certain prescribed limits. We don't agree. We make good arguments. It makes for challenging debate.
