One point from the court case that stuck out to me was when one of the judges asserted that this 2015 court know more and knows better than the rest of humans. This panel of judges was given a lot of credit for coming to a decision for which they wouldn't even own up to the real stance which they portrayed. He also said that the constitution has been wrong and led us all astray. For him to assert such things is bold to say that least. I think the constitution, having lasted over 200 years, has surely been a reliable and stable source of government for this country and for this judge to assume that all Americans have been wrong in being in agreement with the constitution is a bit presumptuous. I believe the constitution was and still is the foundation for this country and it frightens me to think of too many changes being made to it. I also disagree with the idea that this panel of judges has more knowledge than everyone else currently or previously alive in the US. Statements such as that are alarming to me because they tell me that these people who are in power, think white highly of themselves and that tends to lead to an abuse of power an/or a lack of regard for the people and their needs/desires.
