> As a regular citizen without special legal training... Living in a free society or not, you are fit to judge the rectitude of the law. To suggest otherwise implies a servile relationship of the citizen to the state. All manner of abominable laws have existed and been upheld under all forms of the US constitution. Qualified advocates argued against, and supreme court judges ruled against Dred Scott (7 - 2), for instance. As long as it has existed, the supreme court has been in a crisis of legitimacy, and upholding the appearance of legitimacy has been its prima causa. What separates you and a fine judgement of what is just? Three years of sophistical "scholarship" and two summers of internships?
