Re: Power of the SCOTUS IX: The outlook wasn’t brilliant for the SCOTUS nine that day
It sounds like the opinion said that there actually was a third choice: leave the truck intact and get a ride to someplace warm. ("he declined the statutorily protected option (refuse to operate)..."). Not at all saying it was a good choice...
Also, on a side note, I'm not sure which Courts get to rule on the constitutionality of a law, and which ones are limited to interpreting existing law. Our resident experts can weigh in. Not every court can just toss out a law with which they disagree, only courts above a certain level.
