The court has literally put itself ABOVE the Constitution.

You wrote: “campaign of hate” from the political left to get Americans to focus their anger on the Supreme Court as the problem, rather than on the failure of Democrats to pass appropriate legislation to secure the rights they claim to defend."

That is the standard response- that rights apparently must be enacted into law by the legislature- yet this court has proven repeatedly that passing a law in the Congress and having a president sign it does NOT guarantee the court won't strike said law down as "unconstitutional."

In fact, a perfect example IS the DOMA Act (Defense of Marriage Act). I found that law completely disgusting. But it passed and was signed into law and was overturned by the court. Which proves my point.

There is nothing to say that had Respect for Marriage Act passed, this court would not have ruled it unconstitutional. There are no constraints.

The CRA is primarily a public accommodations and employment anti-discrimination measure and does not deal with marriage at all. Loving v Virginia is completely a precedent ruling and can be reversed by the court. Interracial marriage is NOT protected under the CRA! There is zero mention in the act about marriage or interracial marriage.

They can simply not only reverse precedent on previous SCOTUS rulings, but can arbitrarily negate legislation as they see fit.

That is why there is no respect for the court. There is apparently no limits on the whimsy of their power or rulings.
