"Now exactly what does the Dred Scott decision have to do with the Slavers starting the Civil War? It takes no testicles to do such a lunatic thing merely a complete disregard for what the constitution means. No leader would ever do such a thing. As I said such a letter only has meaning when the writer serves at the pleasure of the President. What would happen when the president brings out the letter and says Justice Bozo has resigned and Justice Bozo says No I haven't? How ridiculous would the president look and how much ridicule would any party to such a charade endure? Apparantly you have NO understanding of what the constitution is or means."

Justice Bozo (a relative of yours, perhaps?) can say, "no I didn't!" as FBI agents eject him/her from the court building. Yes, Justice Bozo would, indeed, look ridiculous!!!

Slavers startet the Civil War, when it became apparent that the country was not going to continue down the slavery path that the Supreme Court (via Dred Scott) "ruled" was the correct path.

"......merely a complete disregard for what the Constitution means.".......that's exactly what the Supreme Court does and you say, "oh well".

Apparently you are unfamiliar with my thoughts or you would not make such a comment. When rulings are made with which I disagree I have no difficulty in saying so. However, I understand that most of the bad ones are the result of the same people on the Court and have replacing them the most important political consideration on my radar screen.

I also understand that many of those critical of the court has no understanding of the constitution nor the basis of these rulings.

However, it will come through constitutional means not some half-assed, ill-conceived, incompletely thought out, contrived methodology explicitly rejected by the founders.

Your lack of grasp of this issue is perfectly illustrated by your belief that the FBI could remove a Justice from the Court against his will without impeachment and conviction. What a dreamer.
