I will point out that no one is bound to "respect" a Supreme Court decision. If that were the case, Plessy v. Ferguson would still be the law of the land. It had to be upheld until overturned, but free-thinking people were allowed to deride it as the rationale for institutionalized racism that it was.

And you Republicans wouldn't be creaming in your khakis at the prospect of overturning Roe v. Wade if you "respected" their decisions.

Supreme Court decisions interpret the law, and the president is bound to uphold that law (Andrew Jackson's odious exception to the contrary), but they are allowed to question a decision even as they do, especially in public, since after all, the president is supposed to be accountable to the people. The Supreme Court is the uniquely non-democratic branch of government, not accountable to voters. So we count on the president to speak for us on these matters.

No one on this board gives two shits from a rat's ass what "independents" think. Independents are Republicans who are ashamed to admit they are Republicans, because on some level, they know what a festering mountain of rancid shit their party represents.

Now go away.
