The cartoonist takes the position of the court only making decisions based on how they feel. The judges in the cartoon feel like all the cases that day are all unconstitutional, so that is how they will rule them. I disagree with this statement. I feel the court is put in place to review each case individually and they make decisions bases on the facts of the case, not just how they are feeling. One example is Marbury vs. Madison. In this case, the court said their power is implied from the supremacy clause in the Constitution. Another example is Brown vs. the Board of Education which ended with the court ruling Separate is not equal. The court makes it's own decisions based on the case facts and the Constitution. The Supreme court judges do not take action based on how they are feeling as shown in the cartoon.
