POTUS Can Snub SCOTUS

Do you think the president can disregard the Supreme Court's upcoming decision on same-sex marriage? That's what Republican presidential candidate, Dr. Ben Carson, is saying when asked about the Supreme Court's role in determining the constitutionality of laws.

Dr. Carson's critics say that was a question that seemingly was settled more than 200 years ago in the 1803 Marbury v. Madison case that established judicial review.

This issue was brought up by Carson last week, when he suggested that the executive branch could ignore the Supreme Court's upcoming ruling on same-sex marriage, with many believing the court is poised to make gay marriage the law of the land.

When asked about his stance on Fox News Sunday on May 10, specifically about whether a president must observe Supreme Court's decisions, Carson said, "I have said this is an area that we need to discuss, we need to get into a discussion of this because it has changed from the original intent." Carson's argument is that the court has gone too far and is establishing law, not ruling on constitutionality. He said, "The way our Constitution is set up, the president or the executive branch is obligated to carry out the laws of the land. The laws of the land, according to our Constitution, are provided by the legislative branch. The laws of the land are not provided by the judiciary." I'd like to know your thoughts. Do you agree with Dr. Carson's argument?
