TEDITORIAL
It is ignorant and inexcusable for a lawyers to say that we must save the Constitution from the Court.
The Court can never threaten the Constitution but it can fail to defend it when it should. A constitution is a list of limitations on government, on what it can do and, expressly or by implication, what it cannot. On the other hand, a constitution recognizes the inalienable rights of the individual which the state cannot, without compelling reason found only in the constitution, abridge, such as the right to travel but for three constitutional exceptions thereto. Therefore the Court cannot threaten the Constitution but it can, by a wrong ruling, deny to individuals their inalienable rights, such as the right to travel, the right of expression in detention, the right to be informed of charges and not just conclusions of law -- either because of peculation in the court, undue deference to the president or corruption therefrom. But it did not. The court can never threaten the constitution but it can fail to protect the constitution, our rights, our liberties and the laws. Keep well.
