So if the Court rules on Roe V. Wade or that Slaves were 3/5ths human beings, this makes it right? No and Constitutional Scholars say over and over, Roe v. Wade is NOT in the Constitution.And who is it who interprets the Constitution? Why, it’s the Courts! As an American, you should know that.
I wasn’t aware that the Black Panther Party still existed.
New Black Panther Party. You might read the news.
The courts never ruled that slaves were 3/5 human. It was in the constitution and it was compromise The slave States wanted them counted fully, the free States not at all. And it had nothing to do with how human they were -it was all about how seats in the House would be allocated.
Whatever, that’s beside the point.
According to the initial founders of the Black Panther Party, Huey Newton and Bobby Seale, the so-called New Black Panther Party is an anti-White, anti-Semitic organization that has no relation to the original Black Panther Party except for the fact it has taken their name.
Right or wrong has nothing to do with it. The Court ruling makes those issues legal
Of course not. That was a Court ruling.
You are free to not accept those things as correct.
Epan’s reasoning
None the less, the Constitution IS the ultimate authority, the Supreme Court is just one branch of the government. Let’s hope we throw out at least the tyrannical views that are infringing on religious freedoms. Then we will see how the above looks. Romney will respect freedom of religion and we know this.
In a sense, the Constitution is the final authority in that judges should not “legislate” from the bench (a frequent conservative mantra). However, there is a difference between legislating from the bench and interpreting the Constitution. An analogy in Judaism is the Torah (Written Law), which is the final authority, and the rabbis, who must interpret the Law. In the latter instance, there are often different interpretations, majority views and minority views, and these interpretations are subject to future changes. Still, what is written in the Torah does not change. (The Constitution, however, may be amended.)
Yes it is, and is the branch of government that may interpret the law and the Consitution.
An excellent analogy, the only difference being that there is no final, ultimate rabbinical interpretation of any part of the Law.
And interpret they do.
OMG! The right and their obsession with the Black Panthers! Here we are again!
Breitbart and their obsession with “scary minorities” had pictures up of the Black Panthers just weeks ago. . . . . . . :roll eyes:
Yeah, what’s the big deal, the same people who showed up at a voting precinct carrying truncheons and dressed in military garb show up again 4 years later. No story here.
Did you not know that NBP stationed themselves outside a polling place in 11/08 equipped with billy sticks?
Yeah Christine, I mentioned that- but not directly in my post.
