Someone smarter than I, give me some ammo to refute this - re: Kim Davis

8. Marbury vs. Madison

A ruling from the early 1800s. Merely because right wingers do not accept the concept of judicial review does not mean it is not the law of the land for over 200 years.

If a state declared Catholicism to be the state religion, its legislature passed that, and the governor signed, meaning it is the will of the people of that state, then the SCOTUS could overrule it as a violation of the First Amendment. By the logic of that idiot who wrote the piece linked, they could not do that. Then the Bill of Rights would have no effect.

The legislature makes the law, the executive enforces the law, the judicial interprets the law. Conservatives don't like a SCOTUS ruling. Too damn bad. It's one of the branches of government and their job.
