Best Supreme Court ruling

[Peter]

Furman v. Georgia was by far the most intellectual riveting of the Supreme Court opinions to date. The exchange of ideas is simply amazing, even if some Justices were totally wrong in coming to their conclusions. Whether you agree with the Court or the individuals, this was by far the Supreme Court's finest hour.

The best ever was Bush v. Gore.

Have you actually read this excuse for a judicial opinion?

Read my thoughts on this calamity in this thread.

I've got plenty more reasons to say why it was total garbage if you like as well.

I don't see why so many people llove Lawrence vs. Texas. While I don't like sodomy laws, I oppose federalizing it. It's just one more axing on states' rights.

I don't support states' rights over people's individual right to have privacy in their own bedroom and their right to engage in whatever non-commercial, consensual sexual activity (between adults) that they wish to. The state has no power to enter the bedroom under these circumstances, period, and the federal government simply recognised this.

[Peter]

The federal government has no power to decide that States can't regulate non-commercial, consensual sexual activity between adults.

The inherent right of privacy found in the 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th amendments, along with the 9th, 10th and 14th amendments says that the States can't do what Texas tried to do in this case. The federal government simply reminded them of this fact.

What the judges are basically doing in overturning such laws is engaging in civil disobediance.

You're not drunk and/or high are you?

I ask because what you are saying is total bollocks. The Judges in this case were simply upholding the Constitution, there is nothing civilly disobedient about that.
