Participant[quote=briansd1][quote=Djshakes]Most of the time I oppose them both. When I have to pick I pick the lesser of two evils.[/quote]
So there you go, Djshakes. The two sides are not the same. One side is better (or lesser evil) than the other, depending on your point of view.[/quote]
Well, each paper clip in the pile is slightly different if you inspect each one. How different? Not enough to give a shite.

If the difference is not enough to give a shit, by this logic, in 2012, you should not vote for the Republican presidential candidate. Vote for the 3rd party candidate.

All that says is that there will be courts.
Here’s my question again. Read carefully:
Where does it say that the ruling of a District Court (that only covers a portion of the country) overrides a law passed by the Congress and the President?
Keep reading, I’m sure you’ll find it…[/quote]
Pri, it is you who needs a lesson in reading comprehension.
I bolded the parts where the court has authority over the matter. Because the district court is part of the federal system of courts and is considered an extension of the Supreme Court over its jurisdiction, it has authority over the President and Congress when it comes to court cases.
It’s called checks and balances. The courts have equal authority against the President and Congress. The President and Congress only have the ability to appeal, and it is then that the Supreme Court has the deciding ability.
If the President and Congress decided not to appeal, or if the Supreme Court declined to hear the case, that decision would stand and effectively override the President and Congress.
And the text that highlights that authority? Let me repeat it because you obviously did not get it the first time.
The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority
