US Supreme Court has no right to impose law states outside Feds Constitutional Authority, why do they let them?
The Union was made under an agreement guided by the US Constitution. States are to be sovereign entities, with Federal Authority going to settle interstate disputes and take care of National duties such as securing the borders (lol!) and international relations as a Union with foreign interests and countries.
It doesn't matter what the Supreme Court says if they attempt to rule outside of their strict lines of authority. So why do states allow it and subject their citizens to the garbage they have been allowing? It's time for States to take their authority back now, and put the feds in their place. They have gone way out of control and are acting like usurpers in an Unconstitutional coup against the legal authorities. Subjecting people to law that they had no authority to create in the first place.
Read the Constitution ... it protects us all, from us all. We are all minorities in something, and we could all have freedoms we hold dear taken from us. We would do better to support each others rights and liberties than to back federal hit men to destroy rights of others, while supporting our own. Little secret, those hit men in Washington will say what they need to say to gain power, and then do what they need to do to gain control, which means they will lie to you, and then work to take away your freedoms, because in those freedoms are limits on the power of those hit men in Washington DC.
We are all in this together, divided by those who need to use us in order to take away rights from ALL of us and gain power, which is power over us and the lands we occupy. When we are fooled into fighting with each other, our real enemies gain strength, and that's the ONLY way they can bring us down into their control. You won't like it

Exactly! We all want our freedoms, and we can only have them by allowing others their freedoms. We attempt to take theirs, they attempt to take ours, and pretty soon it's all controlled by a central authority and that never ends well for individual rights, not even the right to be left alone. Who wants government imposed crap and bureaucracy in their face all day every day? No one wants it.
Source(s): Brown, you just read it, but you don't see it. The federal courts adjudicate what s federal jurisdiction. They are limited to those areas defined under the Constitution. I guess they stopped teaching the Constitution in schools and started teaching the Neo-Comm constitution circumvention theology in stead lol. Don, you are an idiot lol, you are obviously history and factually deprived concerning the Constitution. Read the Federalist papers, or better yet, try just reading the Constitution itself for a start. Marshal did push an activist Supreme Court "decision" that US Federal Law trumps State Law, that kind of law is just what Pznbob was talking about. That judgement doesn't matter, because it changed the meaning of the Constitution, which can't be done by judges, it requires agreement of 3/4 of the states to change the Constitution, so that decision is without any legal authority in law, period. - GunnyCLv 61 decade ago
A huge part of the government expansion is based on the power to regulate inter-state trade and by later changes to the Constitution such as an income tax. Many of the expansions are understandable extensions and some are a very big stretch of definitions. The Interstates were based on both the requirement to protect (the military) and then regulating inter-state trade. The official title of the interstate system include the word "defense" and was proposed as a method of moving military assets in times of an emergency/war based on the German autobahn's Americans saw after World War Two.. The regulation of trade between the states was a secondary feature. Government expansion has been very steady since the American Civil War and greatly accelerated after the Great Depression.

While it is impossible to respond with specifics to a general rant, such as this, I will point out one thing about the Constitution and the Supreme Court:
The Constitution includes the Supremacy Clause, which states that Federal laws (including the Constitution itself, of course, but also federal legislation and properly ratified international treaties) are Supreme to State laws. While the Constitution prevents the Federal government and the Supreme Court from interfering with the domain of the States except, it is up to the Supreme Court to interpret whether or not that happened in a particular instance. A State may disagree, claiming that in a particular instance, a law oversteps into the State's domain. The State may sue to block enforcement. The Supreme Court may then overrule the State. If the State thinks they can then ignore the Supreme Court, since their State law says the Supreme Court had no authority, the Supreme Court will overrule them, since the Supreme Court interprets the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution and decides when it does and does not apply.
Note, though, that routinely the Supreme Court will declare that a particular case does not present a federal question and relegate it to the relevant State to decide. In those cases, different States may, and often do, come to their own conclusions. This happens much more often than you probably realize.

When the Supreme Court counters the Constitution they are outside of their jourisdiction and their judgement is illegal and void, that is very true. The Constitution is the leading legal authority in the USA, not the Supreme court which was not created to make law, but uphold the law. Their roll as interperators doesn't give them card blache to change the Constitution. There is a legal process for changing the Constitution, and it has nothing to do with the courts. That is not their job or their roll, nor do they have legal authority to do it.

"The states long ago surrendered their sovereignty, and they are now junkies on federal monies, which they need for schools, roads, Medicaid, and much else. If the citizens are now wards of the federal government, then the states long since preceded them in that sorry servitude."
This country has drifted so far from it's constitutional framework, a total economic collapse or full revolution will be required to facilitate a return to being the constitutional republic it once was. The good news is that both are actually plausible at this time.

This is a great example of how speech can generate hatred and some nut case gets fired up and attacks our government. There is no need to call our democratically elected officials "hit men". This is rhetoric that we do not need. You can disagree all you want but skip the demonizing.
By the way, I guess according to you we should have passports for entering ever state because their laws could be totally different. The southern states would still be slave owning states, etc. etc.
Good Luck with that.

there is not any distinction. the two communities are/have been being discriminated against thoroughly unreasonably. that's unconstitutional (and easily unfair) to disclaim specific communities the rights granted to different equivalent communities. Likewise, to characteristic such denial to the language of a shape might (in my unschooled opinion) fly quickly interior the face of this form of checklist it fairly is designed to grant equivalent rights to all. The California surprising court acted thoroughly interior of its bounds with the aid of astonishing down an unconstitutional ban, the two in 1948 and in 2008.
