Quote by: Mr. Jaggers  Well, Mr. Enready, Mr. Chancellor maintains that the federal courts lack jurisdiction to "interpret" the Constiturion; and therefore, the ruling of the United States District Court striking down the two provisions of the Patriot Act of 2001 as violating the provisions of the Fourth Amendment would, according to his position, be invalid - unless, of course, he happened to agree with the outcome. That would be a very different case, you see. |
You really need to STOP misrepresenting what I've said!!!!! If you're going to disagree with me then you damned well had better get it right!
A District Court (or SCOTUS) finding a particular piece of legislation "unconstitutional" is NOT an act of "interpreting" the Constitution itself.
