“‘An unconstitutional judicial decision is no more binding than an unconstitutional legislative act.’ That was Lysander Spooner, utterly rejecting the doctrine of judicial supremacy – the dangerous notion that a judicial opinion becomes law simply because judges say so. Spooner offered a series of powerful insights and warnings – many of which echoed the words of the Founders themselves. These principles once formed the bedrock of American constitutional understanding. But today, they’ve been almost entirely forgotten – or worse, ignored. Ultimately, Spooner’s message was clear: judicial supremacy isn’t just unconstitutional – it’s tyranny.” (03/24/25)
