The Obama Presidency

The SCOTUS interpretation is by definition true legally

False. They're SCOTUS, not God.

How ironic is that post?

Also, how is it false? Unless Congress changes the law, the SCOTUS interpretation is the standard until a future SCOTUS sets a different precedent, is it not?

[Yoshi]

I never said it wasn't legal. I said the judgement was wrong. A legal ruling calling cookies vegetables doesn't actually make them grow from the ground and provide any health benefits.

That analogy is terrible. You can't have peer reviewed science regarding a law. Obviously it's an opinion but a very powerful one.

It was a humor joke.

Yeah but then you can say that about everything. This isn't mathematics.

Oh I see I was late. But shitty ruling is shitty, it obviously runs contrary to other rulings. So I don't consider it "truth"

[Yoshi]

That's exactly my point. A SCOTUS ruling can't be "wrong," no matter how much you disagree with it.

[Joust Williams]

But if you hold certain values to be true, for example earlier or more longstanding unscientific rulings or principles, you can certainly see the problem with this

That's exactly my point. A SCOTUS ruling can't be "wrong," no matter how much you disagree with it.

Quoted for posterity. I have a feeling this post will be useful.

Yeah, that strikes me as a regrettable thing to say.

Wrong being in quotes dilutes the power you might think that statement might have.
Counting black folks as 3/5 of a person wasn't "wrong." But it totally was wrong.
