In view of the previously provided it is only natural to ask if the United States is really a nation of 'laws' ...

or is it now a nation under 'men' who sit in high places of the government and dictate to a huge and growing bureaucracy which administers edicts{laws) to the rest of the population with sanctions(penalties) to follow ... re those on the Supreme !ourt intended to 'interpret the !onstitution' as each evolving court sees fi"ar was that !ourt intended to ensure that any law passed by the "egislative branch of the separated #ederal government is a 'legal law' as written and allowed in the constitution ... and that the $%ecutive branch is in fact only enforcing those legal laws found by the Supreme !ourt to be allowed in the constitution. &he constitution does not need to be 'interpreted' ... that was done by those who wrote it. If there is any 'uestion as to what the writers and creators intended they left the #ederalist and nti(#ederalist papers for that purpose. &hey also left for posterity a way to add or abolish anything that the ma)ority of the states or people might deem necessary ... that is' the ability to amend' the constitution. ny law passed by the "egislature ... and any activity or enforcement by the $%ecutive must be 'constitutional'((and the purpose of the Supreme !ourt is to ensure that is indeed the case. *aving said the above ... the more difficult obligation and duty of the S!+&US comes after the original constitution and first ten amendments(,ili of -ights). ny future 'amendments' added to the constitution will then begin to have a changing affect on the body politic and nation. It now makespossible for a citi.en or organi.ation to bring about a change through the "egislature or States a new rule which mayor may not work to the future harmony of the nation. &he outcome for the future now becomes an almost impossible task for the sitting members of the court since they have little knowledge of the future. &he what/when/where/ who and why becomes e%tremely relevant for any alterations to the original set of laws for the nation. &his is where partisan politics and opinion not carefully considered can have a devastating result on the future which following members of the S!+&US then sometimes must repeal. &he result of the eighteeth amendment( rticle 01III) regarding prohibition of alcoholic beverages repealed by the twenty(first amendment( rticle 00I) being a good e%ample. &he recent case of declaring a corporation to have the same status and rights as a person is a good e%ample ... one might think ... where does the !ourt have the authority to leap(frog over the "egislature ... thus seemingly breaking the constitutions separation of powers and duties. #or such a government declaration having such an effect on the nation's economy surely must re'uire the necessary procedure of the "egislature followed by great deliberation by the sitting members of the S!+&US. $very citi.en is in this together. &hink of it as a game(or sport. &here is a set of rules 'every player' must agree to and abide. &hat is the purpose of the 2constitution2 ... no player or team can break or change the rules. 3ot even the !aptain or owner of the team. If any rule is to be changed it must be agreed to by the proper authority and then transmitted to each player or team member. +therwise everybody is playing a game of futility.
