I mean, this shit is like 5th grade level. Who interprets laws, stare decisis, and what "the rule of law" means. Seriously -- stop posting and research.
OK, ok, let's see...
Who interprets laws... Well the supreme court does that, but our president says that he doesn't care what the supreme court says and that he's doing what's best for the People. So the Judicial Branch and Executive Branch can interpret laws that the Legislature passes, cool.
Stare...wha? "a doctrine or policy of following rules or principles laid down in previous judicial decisions unless they contravene the ordinary principles of justice" So pretty much the court will look at what has happened in the past and use that precedent to move forward, otherwise they make their decision based on good faith or common sense? What was the stare decisis when the Japanese were put into internment camps, they're riceniggers so they have no rights?
Rule of law... The internet says that there are 3 contexts, Rule According to Law, Rule Under Law, and Rule According to Higher Law... using my 5th grade context clue skills I'm thinking it's 'Rule Under Law,'
Click to reveal..
"Under the Constitution, no single branch of government in the United States is given unlimited power. The authority granted to one branch of government is limited by the authority granted to the coordinate branches and by the Bill of Rights, federal statutory provisions, and historical practice. The power of any single branch of government is similarly restrained at the state level."
That's good, but who makes sure that the authority is in check? Who makes sure that the Constitution is being upheld? The 12th Man. Us U.S. citizens.
Thanks for expanding my horizons, what else should I research?
