"No it isn't. What the courts say it is, determines how it will be enforced, but the courts can be incorrect. If 5 members of the supreme court decided that people had no right to complain or protest about government policy, it would still be our constitutional right, it would just be a right that could be infringed without us receiving any protection from the courts." Tim, that's about as wrong as wrong can get. You seem incapable of comprehending the reality that our founding fathers granted the US Supreme court the ultimate and final power to interpret and apply the US constitution. What that means is that fringe legal pundits can offer their rock solid opinions on what is and what is not "constitutional" but the final word will come from the pen of the US Supreme court. If that court says something is, or is not, constitutional then that thing is, or is not, constitutional. That's it...no remaining issue, no more room for whining and no room to argue that the constitution means something different. Of course if you think they should have ruled differently then go ahead and move for an amendment to the constitution. Good luck. Ed
