re: #52 Absalom, Absalom, Obdicut

Holy fuck, are you really quoting the constitution at me.

To be clear, your position is that the court could examine a law about, say, railroad gradings and say that the law should be ruled invalid because the data they used to determine the appropriate gradings is— in the court’s opinion— out of date?

Scalia was mocking the idea of something becoming unconstitutional over time before this, too. It’s really sadly funny.

My position is that the court’s own rules (as shown above from the SCOTUS web site) do not say it is limited to only ruling on the constitutionality of a law.
