I'm going to make a few assumptions here, so if I'm wrong please correct me. I assume that the supreme court justices are pretty smart people. I also assume that they understand their role in govn't, which is to interpret law and the constitution.
I also assume that you are a pretty smart person, but not a supreme court justice, if you happen to be one then ok fine, but please explain to me why your opinion should trump the highest court in the land?
I'm sure that at some point, each justice has most likely read all the papers you are referring to.
