My response: I understand you might not like a decision of the Supreme Court, BUT, its decision are absolutely final unless the Constitution were amended or the Court overturned its own decision. I understand that it the point you are trying to make. BUT, to call a decision of the Court unconstitutional demonstrates a failure to understand how it works. A decision of the Supreme Court cannot be unconstitutional because under our system of governance the Court is tasked with authority to interpret the Constitution. This is even more apparent when the Court is interpreting Amendments to the Constitution. A decision of the Court can be wrong (in your opinion) but a decision of the Court cannot be unconstitutional. IF, however, the Constitution were amended and the amendment provided that there would never be a draft, then the decision would be overturned. Mitch also wrote: "Just think of all the wrongheaded racial decisions which were overturned by Brown v Board of Education, which in turn was also incredibly wrongheaded." My response: I can't say that I agree with you that Brown v. Board of Education was wrongly decided. BUT, I do agree with you that the Supreme Court does wacky things and also sometimes violates its own core principles. In fact, if you are really interested in textualism and original intent you can read an article that is critical of the conservative justices for violating their own conservative principles.
