I’m not interested in a Reddit-tier “did you read the first paragraph of this Wikipedia article like me” debate with a random .ee user.
You are arguing that a law has an indeterminate legality until and unless the Supreme Court rules on it. That makes no fucking sense. The power of judicial review means exactly what it says on the tin. They get to settle disputes over the interpretation of a law. If a law is not disputed, then interpretation falls to the lower courts. And fucking obviously, the average person understands what is illegal without any need to “well ackshually only the courts have the God-given right to judicial review.”
You do understand that the legal system operates throughout the country, every day of the year, without input from the Supreme Court? That people are tried, convicted, and serve decades of prison time, because they were determined to have broken the law?
Yet another armchair expert that’s literally never taken the time to read the Constitution
