the debate has started
OK, I cannot disagree but you do have a more 'constructionist view' of what our founding fathers intended and wrote. It is a very good point. But...
And here is where the debate starts. Is a Supreme Court decision the 'law of the land' or a law passed by Congress? both maybe? Who can overturn a law? Take Roe vs. Wade as an example, this is presently considered the 'law of the land' and it was not done through Congress (I am not here to debate validity of the decision, we stay away from that please).
If what you say is absolute ina constructionist way then the law concept of stari decisis would not exist (as per my understanding). It is a widely ageed upon concept when considering our laws, the Consitution, and how things work together between two of the branches of our government (Judicial and Legislative).
