It’s my personal belief that posters who incite or invite insurrection and who refuse to abide by and accept SCOTUS decisions as the final arbiter on Constitutional matters should be relentlessly chastised.

When SCOTUS makes a ruling that was outside their jurisdiction to 'hear' in the first place I will not acknowledge it as a legitimate finding! I WILL 'incite', I WILL 'invite', and such actions are not not 'insurrection'........ it's defending the Law.

However true, therefore, it may be, that the judicial department is, in all questions submitted to it by the forms of the Constitution, to decide in the last resort, this resort must necessarily be deemed the last in relation to the authorities of the other departments of the government; not in relation to the rights of the parties to the constitutional compact, from which the judicial, as well as the other departments, hold their delegated trusts. On any other hypothesis, the delegation of judicial power would annul the authority delegating it; and the concurrence of this department with the others in usurped powers, might subvert forever, and beyond the possible reach of any rightful remedy, the very Constitution which all were instituted to preserve.
James Madison, Report on the Virginia Resolutions

You want to *chastise* me, go for it! And you can call your buddies to help you if you think it will do you any good.

Full contextual quotes please.

"It’s my personal belief that posters who incite or invite insurrection and who refuse to abide by and accept SCOTUS decisions as the final arbiter on Constitutional matters should be relentlessly chastised. Note: This does not mean to agree, it means to abide by and seek change from within, rather than change from without."

You change the meaning by leaving out the bold face. I'm not saying the SCOTUS is infallible. I'm saying that it's the last resort of judicial review.

I had another reply, but it seems to have disappeared. Need I bother posting it again or will it be deleted, or did I mess up in "post" button. I didn't send it as a private reply.
