You say you are a lawyer? If so, you know you have to provide evidence to convict or to win an argument! And it has to be beyond reasonable doubt.

Show me WHERE is says case law is binding in our Constitution? Show me where the SCOTUS rulings are nothing more the "opinions". Show me where the SCOTUS can "strike down laws".

Show me!!!!

Fine, I'll show you (again, because you apparently missed it the first time.)

Here are 3 articles on the subject.

[Posts links to an article on when precedent is mandatory and binding by an LSU Law School professor, a guide to binding precedent and case law by Georgetown University Law School, and a U.S. Government publication on proper use of case law.]

LSU Article: Does NOT give authority to strike down laws. No where does it say otherwise!!!
Georgetown Article: NOTHING in there about Federal courts "striking down laws".
Fedral Gov't Publication: I can't even get on this website. AGAIN, there is NOTHING in there about courts striking down laws. NOTHING!!!

Here, educate yourself again.

"The power of the Court to implement its decisions is limited. For example, in the famous 1954 case Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, the justices ruled that racial segregation (separate but equal) in public places is unconstitutional. But, it took many years for school districts to desegregate.

The Court has no means (such as an army) to force implementation. Instead, it must count on the executive and legislative branches to back its decisions. In the Civil Rights Movement, the Court led the way, but the other branches had to follow before real change could take place."

Here's another one, from the Christian Legal Society.

[links to an pamphlet on where to find law, including many instances of court decisions that struck down laws as unconstitutional. The publisher is a Christian-run legal organization whose purpose is to help Christians exercise their rights to pray and follow their faith.]

You'll note on page 10, it says "Federal laws include court decisions..." Later it says, "The Supreme Court’s decisions are law throughout the country."

This website is an anti-christian/freedom from religion website. Enough said!!!!!

From the website:

"The Supreme Court’s decisions are law throughout the country"

Can you show me where it says that in the Constitution?

If true, why do most states still have abortion illegal?

Why do states still have in their constitutions that marriage is between one man and one woman?

Now I see what websites you are going to. LIBERAL/ANT-CHRISTIAN!!!

ENOUGH SAID!!!
