Going Overboard in Defending Judicial Supremacy

I thought I would recommend this Adam J. White post. It provides a good warning to conservatives against falling into the trap of defending the idea of “judicial supremacy” in their critique of the president’s statement about a “group” of unelected people striking down a congressional law.

Mr. White refers to Lincoln’s First Inaugural Address. I’m kinda surprised that this is the first reference I have read to this speech throughout this whole contretemps—begun by the careless remarks of our Con Law Prof in Chief.
