Hi, MadApostate,
I don’t know where you plan on taking this discussion of yours, or why. My participation on this subject thread was for the sole purpose of asserting that opinion of common folks is not as irrelevant as some want to make them. This is the seedbed of law.
By the way, any single trial judge's decision(s) are reviewable (can be overturned) by an appellate court.
I don’t know what this is supposed to mean either, MadApostate. It is a true statement, but so are these:
In the USA,
1. Any appellate court ruling can be overturned.
2. Any state Supreme Court ruling can be overturned.
3. Any federal Supreme Court ruling can be overturned.
4. Any legislation can be overturned.
So what?
These are all true because of a version of what I said before: what is law today is another man’s emotional hype; tomorrow, if enough people decide a law is emotional hype then that law will be overturned. This is an integral part of the process of law.
In the case heading this thread there were apparently some court rulings made early in the process. Those rulings may or may not find recognition later as precedent in some form, I don’t know. One thing I do know is this: neither of us gets to decide it.
So, what is your point? What are we arguing here? If you are intent to argue for sake of arguing, count me out.
Your education assumptions and assertions: why do you do it?
This is a place of casual conversation. Do you really expect anyone here to take time to prepare a proper legal brief for your sake? I don’t have the time or inclination for this, and I doubt any other participant here does either. So why make an issue of it? Why don’t you just see a conversation for what it is: people sharing thoughts? If you have thoughts, share them. But, again, why the assumptions and assertions about education? Do you want in or out? Should any of us care about your views of our education? Do you even know what country is my native soil? Do you have any guess as to my native tongue? What really do you know about me to make assumptions as you have? Please, enlighten us all. Please. I would really like to see your educated answers about what you know of my life, area of education and level of education.
