heyjoe?
What do you think would happen if some law enforcement agency brought on criminal charges as a penalty for something those (activist) Supreme Court judges thought ought not be penalized as per judicial opinion?
Here's what would happen:
The alleged criminal would hire a lawyer or one would be be appointed and they would be arraigned and have a trial which would then come to an outcome. Let's say the lower court judge didn't believe the Supreme Court had it right so he says to the defendant, "go to jail!". The defendant and attorney say, "nuh, uh!" and appeal. And so on and so forth until you get back to the Supreme Court who is the final judgment.
Do you see how it's all intertwined?
So again, as I stated in my previous post, you are right that other parts of the governing bodies have the authority to make laws that would alter how the judges could interpret laws in the future.
And to that, I again say shame on the American public for not yet having elected those representatives who would either strengthen the laws or appoint judges to the highest court in the land who would follow the laws as written.
Now, you can certainly believe that it is not a shame those judges haven't yet been appointed, but then we are back to square one on this debate where we try to convince each other the legality and/or morality of abortion. See?
