Does the United States Supreme Court Make Laws, Enforce Laws -- Do Americans even know?

[Dante]

Stumbled upon this post and followed it back. It's a spat between two what I am going to assume, Americans who have been educated in American schools. Did they go on to higher education? Who knows. Would it, should it matter?

What I'm interested in is seeing people on the left or the right, at any given time somehow taking arguments of the other side to suit an argument. And I am interested in just what Americans believe about the Supreme Court and how it functions, what it's role is (not looking at can they link to the constitution, as linking does not equate to understanding). What is it people believe?

What if both parties committed to protecting and preserving America’s founding principles, values, tradition and history?

Pennsylvania ruled mail in voting was unconstitutional,, that alone are a lot of votes that shouldnt have been counted,, your ignorance is on you not us,, liberals are so ignorant you wonder how they survive past the age of 25 maybe they kind of don't... since: With age comes wisdom. So...

And in this area of interest: This pops up. I remember the "debate" well.

Debate Now - Social Contract and Validity of Law and Government

I think some are arguing something other than social contract here. Let's review the OP once again, what the topic is, and let's focus on that okay?

Debate Now - Social Contract and Validity of Law and Government

Let me put it more simply. 1) When a President changes, via executive order, changes or refuses to enforce a law that Congress passed and he signed into law, is that a violation of social contract? 2) When Congress votes itself benefits that are not authorized via the Constitution, is that a...

They would have strongly objected to the government dictating that people had to use a certain kind of candle or lantern for lighting.
The argument is not what the law is. Or what SCOTUS rules.
The argument is what is and what is not social contract, what violates social contract, and what the people should do when that occurs, if anything. Let's try to keep the focus where it belongs here.

Dante jumped in:
My opinion is that we could not know. Probability versus possibility. It's possible one could now, but is is highly improbable we do know

other:
Well I am just arrogant to think that I read the founding documents they left for us and am right in that they would have disapproved of any dictate from the central government even suggesting how people must live their lives.

Dante:
In the context of their time you may be correct, but you are assuming you know what they would think now about things and a changing world they know nothing about. You do not know how and when and why people will or do change. Jefferson and others changed their own view of things as they aged. Americans, the very people who ratified the Constitution and gave it legitimacy and power changed over time.

You cannot claim to "know" what anyone from the past would believe or think if they were living today.

The above is an example of what is in the OP:
I am interested in just what Americans believe about the Supreme Court and how it functions, what it's role is (not looking at can they link to the constitution, as linking does not equate to understanding). What is it people believe?

What is it people believe, why, do their beliefs square up with reality?

Do you understand the difference between the 3 branches of government?

The only failure is your understanding of the three branches of government. Asking the question for basic government functions demonstrates a lack of understanding. Cheers!

Dante? We posted a thread title that is true to the content in the OP:

Does the United States Supreme Court Make Laws, Enforce Laws -- Do Americans even know?​

How did you arrive at your comment after reading .. wait. I bet you never read anything. You're just trolling.
At first wasn't sure what this hijack is about. Now? Try hanging out with Liability.

Again, Dante did not ask any questions about government.

Considering your content is typically skewed, I don't invest lots of time reading it.

The Supreme Court doesn't make law .. it enforces/changes existing legislation from the legislative branch to align with the principles, rights and outcomes of the United States Constitution. Asking this question should be an embarrassment.

We know Lastamender believes the Supreme Court enforces laws:

"No they did not. They enforce laws not make them." from the OP link (Post #1)

America knows more about sports, pop culture, and their social media viewership than it does about basic government functions. Americans, in general, are stupid with how the government works and demonstrate the decline in education to educate our youth.

Why would you ask such a stupid question?

So you too believe the SCOTUS enforces law?

and again, Dante did not ask a question you are claiming he did. If We are in error, please quote it.

If American schools teach the stuff and people forget or don't retain what they've been schooled in why would you blame a "decline" in education of youth?

Again, what question are you addressing? One Dante asked or one your mind is telling you is there?

 

[Dante]

We know from links in post #2 what Foxfyre believes - based on a personal thing of being able to divine what people in the 1700s would think/believe/do today.

 

[Dante]

We also know what Liability believes regarding the SCOTUS: He believes in ideological bents and believes he knows what "Doing it's job" entails, but it's from an ideological position. How do we know this? It's all his posts about the SCOTUS that use "liberal" and "conservative" when arguing law.

Does Anyone Have Faith in this Supreme Court?

I know Republicans like the new Supreme Court because it's filled with a bunch of new people willing to legislate from the bench but besides them, does anyone trust this new Supreme Court? Taking money from millionaires and legislating over decisions that will effect their business' and our...

Look everyone, it's the evil dastardly Taliban conservative Supreme Court on trial again.

 

[jotathought]

We know Lastamender believes the Supreme Court enforces laws:

"No they did not. They enforce laws not make them." from the OP link (Post #1)

The United States Supreme Court:

Interprets the constitution, reviews lower court decisions, provides final judgement, ensures checks and balances, provides a final decision of outcomes and interprets federal law. They either upheld court challenges, decline to decide (leaving the decision with a lower court) or challenge and change rulings (i.e. Roe v. Wade).

It's not rocket science .. recommend you get a basic Government and Economics book, which isn't taught in modern day school systems effectively, and brush up on the basic functions of the three branches.

not sure where this comes from.

You're only trolling. How can we prove that? Link to what you're supposedly responding to that Dante (moi), posted? Go ahead. Try and link to something.

reading and comprehension fail 101: what is your post referring to?

falling into the "weird" brigade

noun: non sequitur; plural noun: non sequiturs; noun: nonsequitur; plural noun: nonsequiturs

1. a conclusion or statement that does not logically follow from the previous argument or statement.

I believe your Alzheimer's is kicking in .. you've continued to reference me as Dante, and I don't even know who that is.

You have chosen to ignore: "What question are you addressing? One Dante asked or one your mind is telling you is there?"

btw, We're working on your old comments to, to try and understand what Americans believe. You are an American, no? Attended school in America/USA?

What are you referring to that Dante posted?

So when we posted Dante (moi) (to VOTTO), you could not grasp that?

There are so few posts before that, I am puzzled how you could've missed that if you are indeed really reading what you're supposedly responding to.
