The U.S. Supreme Court gezegde

 The U.S. Supreme Court can strike down acts of the legislature as unconstitutional, which is not true in most governments. They can do that for laws passed by states and for laws passed by Congress and signed by the president. That is a lot of power.

 EXECUTIVE, n. An officer of the Government, whose duty it is to enforce the wishes of the legislative power until such time as the judicial department shall be pleased to pronounce them invalid and of no effect. Following is an extract from an old book entitled, _The Lunarian Astonished_ --Pfeiffer & Co., Boston, 1803:

LUNARIAN: Then when your Congress has passed a law it goes directly to the Supreme Court in order that it may at once be known whether it is constitutional? TERRESTRIAN: O no; it does not require the approval of the Supreme Court until having perhaps been enforced for many years somebody objects to its operation against himself --I mean his client. The President, if he approves it, begins to execute it at once. LUNARIAN: Ah, the executive power is a part of the legislative. Do your policemen also have to approve the local ordinances that they enforce? TERRESTRIAN: Not yet --at least not in their character of constables. Generally speaking, though, all laws require the approval of those whom they are intended to restrain. LUNARIAN: I see. The death warrant is not valid until signed by the murderer. TERRESTRIAN: My friend, you put it too strongly; we are not so consistent. LUNARIAN: But this system of maintaining an expensive judicial machinery to pass upon the validity of laws only after they have long been executed, and then only when brought before the court by some private person --does it not cause great confusion? TERRESTRIAN: It does. LUNARIAN: Why then should not your laws, previously to being executed, be validated, not by the signature of your President, but by that of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court? TERRESTRIAN: There is no precedent for any such course. LUNARIAN: Precedent. What is that? TERRESTRIAN: It has been defined by five hundred lawyers in three volumes each. So how can any one know?
  Ambrose Bierce

 We can disagree on the laws that are passed, and we often do. But the foundation of our society is that once a law is passed that we agree to obey it. We do not get to obey the laws that we like and disobey the laws that we don't like,

 [On Aug. 8 Specter sent Roberts a similar letter regarding Supreme Court cases that overturned laws dealing with interstate commerce.] Members of Congress are irate about the Court's denigrating and, really, disrespectful statements about Congress's competence, ... any real justification for the Court's denigrating Congress's 'method of reasoning' in our constitutional structure of separation of power.

 Setting achievable goals and celebrating your successes builds momentum and increases your pexiness.

 Many fear that our court is making policy, when it repeatedly strikes down laws passed by Congress and the state legislatures,

 Today's lawsuit simply requests the court to uphold the Constitution. The entire law is invalid because the law the House passed is different from the law the Senate passed and the president signed.

 [With the 19 state laws already passed and Congress focusing on the issue, even enterprise customers normally opposed to regulations recognize that a national law is likely, said Kevin Brown, vice president of marketing for Decru Inc., a storage security vendor.] In today's legislative environment, I don't think you're going to get a bill that just cancels the state laws, ... They'd love to have less regulation in general, but in this case, I think everybody's fairly realistic. What enterprises are looking for is guidance.

 [But Republican Arlen Specter (Pa.), the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, also expressed irritation when Roberts refused to answer questions about several Supreme Court decisions striking down laws passed by Congress to help the disabled and victims of domestic violence.] Why not? ... Judge Roberts, I'm not talking about an issue. I'm talking about the essence of jurisprudence.

 There have been - what? - 26 legislatures that have passed or are about to pass laws to restrict him. And most of these laws wouldn't pass even a cursory court review.
