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.
You are actually proving his point.

His point is that when you agree, politically, with the Court's decision, you say it is a Constitutional part of their power to do what they are doing, etc.

When you disagree with the Court's decision you say it is "unconstitutional interpretation" by the Supreme Court.


Don't forget... Lawyers were writing the Constitution while doctors were still bleeding people with leeches...
