Time To Recognize The Limits Of The Supreme Court’s Authority

Transcript:

Bryan Fischer with today’s Life and Liberty Minute. Regressives have used the Supreme Court to get what they want through judicial fiat rather than through the legislative process. Whether it’s homosexuality, sodomy-based marriage, or baby murder, every major advance of their political agenda has come from an activist Court.

Their rulings are binding only on the parties that are before them in court, but are not binding on anyone else.
