Black Quote “The layman’s constitutional view is that what he likes is constitutional and that which he doesn’t like is unconstitutional.”Justice Hugo L. Black ~ Justice Hugo L. Black (1886-1971) US Supreme Court JusticeNew York Times, 26 February 1971 Constitution , Ignorance , Justice , Knowledge , Law , Rights Ratings and Comments Reply Joe, Rochester, MI 9/27/05 The U.S. Supreme Court must be a bunch of laymen, since they apparently don't understand the 5th amendment which states in part "...nor shall private property be taken for public use...". Considering the U.S. is a Republic, they are acting very socialist, or even comunist. Reply warren, olathe 2/8/08 Your right Joe. I wonder who we are. I think we need to be the jurists and judge a few of them incompetent. Reply warren, olathe 2/8/08 Congress does have the power to impeach them. SaveOk2 SaveOk2 View CommentsClick to view or comment.
