The 'ol infallible courts meme? The same supreme court that ruled blacks could not be American citizens while implying they were inferior. Rulings allowing for the forced sterilization of mentally handicapped people. Rulings for the forced internment of Japanese citizens. Rulings allowing segregation. Rulings permitting child labor....And on and on.

Um, no. Quote where I said my argument rests on the infallibility of the courts? I'd actually have an argument if any single reply I've gotten has obeyed the site rules and, y'know, offered one.

You implied court decisions validated your premise. The Supreme Court has frequently made very bad decisions. You are appealing to authority as a fallacy. Law supercedes legal.
