Hart S asked:

I work in the civil service in DC, and some days when I walk from the subway to my office, I see people congregating in front of the Supreme Court.

Why do they gather? Is the court handing down a decision every time the people are there? What’s going on? On days when nobody gathers there, why don’t they?

Thanks!

Should a State Supreme Court have the right to overturn a law that the people of the state voted overwhelmingly for? I thought this was a “Government of the people, by the people, for the people” but apperently Lincon was worng.
It was a state constitutional amendment that was voted into law by the people of the state.

I recently studied a case where a theif was given the perfect solution to get out of a crime, all he had to do was lie and say he was a drug addict and opposed to getting a prison sentence, he would get 90 dys in rehab. Is it unethical for an attorney to tell the theif to lie to get a better sentence? He was not a druggie, just a crook.

How do I explain to children when they look up the definition of marriage? Give the Court a dictionary to read or maybe they are not educated in reading. This is the product of poor education in our schools. Voters rights and children rights are vastly discriminated against. We need changes in the Supreme court when they do not honor OUR PRIVILEGES When does voting count? Why vote when it is tossed aside.
