O'Connor Decries Republican Attacks on Courts
O'Connor, in my opinion, confuses an independent judiciary with one that has no checks and balances on it. We have a judiciary with no checks and balances on it. I firmly believe Supreme Court decisions should be ignored or declared unconstitutional when they are wrong.
The Supreme Court can do what they do with a law they think is unconstitutional. Congress can simply pass new legislation if they think a previous law is unconstitutional. And the president can ignore bad Supreme Court decisions and refuse to enforce unconstitutional laws.
