Is your argument really that unless we have a civil war we cannot negate unjust SCOTUS decisions?
Tom made the point that the Constitution of the US does not grant the SCOTUS the power to rule on the constitutionality of the laws.
You point out that the court is the last appeal in the cases arising from disputes about the laws created under the constitution.
Your own link shows that no power to review the constitutionality of laws is in the constitution.
THAT IS TOM's POINT. He goes on to explain why this power grab by the SCOTUS is a bad thing.
Either argue that you want the SCOTUS to be able to impose its' will in place of the laws passed by our elected representatives or agree that Tom is correct.
