??? But you reject the findings of the court, claiming that a program that was found to be Constitutional is "obviously unconstitutional." Are you not claiming sole authority to decide how to settle differences of interpretation?
No offense, but this is a wacky response.
Again, I accept Marbury v Madison. You appear to think that my acceptance of the opinion in that case implies acceptance of all Supreme Court decisions. That’s a non-sequitur. I’d wager that all War Room posters except a few anarchists hold my view there, including you.
As for Helvering v Davis, the real disaster occurred the year before with United States v. Butler. This is the case that re-interpreted the general welfare clause in a Hamiltonian (i.e., infinitely expandable) way. In fact, Butler is the last case in US Supreme Court history in which the Court struck down an act of Congress for overextending the Constitution’s spending power.
