If we are to resort to the "real" picture of politics (i.e., conspiracy theories) then no government of man could possibly exist.

I am familiar with that case. What do you mean by it?
In order for a civil trial to take place, whether judged by a jury or solely by a judge, both parties must submit to the jurisdiction of the court, i.e. the government. (And a Judge is employed by, and is most certainly a part of, the government. Check out Article Three of the Constitution).
"Jurisdiction" in layman's terms mean submitting to the power of the government, with said power at its most basic level being regulated by the Constitution.
Hopefully this clears things up for you.
@Kara: unfortunately I only had the pleasure of living in London as a wee lad, so I can't answer that question from direct experience. But I'd be happy to take a stab at those questions in another thread, I think you started one a while back about this.

I'd prefer to stick to the topic at hand rather than bringing opinions into this.

The court's ruling influences what steps the government takes to solve the problem. Not visa versa. And since judges are free thinking individuals who rule based on the law, rather than what the government wishes, the law ultimately prevails, rather than petty government motives.
Hope that clears things up for you.
Politics and law are interrelated and cannot be seperated from each other. Politics is law, and law is politics. The healthcare bill is now law. Does that mean it is no longer politics. When we speak of liberal and conservative justices on the supreme court, why do you think liberal presidents appoint liberal justices, while conservative presidents appoint conservatives?

What are you talking about now? I don't think you understood what I said.
Let me break this down real simple: two statements, one says "the President is an idiot!" and the other says "dreadnought is an idiot!" Both are protected. Are you following me so far?

The second is not protected by the Constitution. I could theoretically sue you; I doubt I would win, but I could nonetheless.
And I don't appreciate you calling me an idiot. Its borderline flaming.

The second is protected, actually. It's an insult, not slander.
Please reread my numerous posts above before interjecting with, to be honest, silly remarks in the middle of a discussion.
Good, we have arrived at the root of your error. Both are in fact protected under the Constitution.
I believe the best way for you to find this out is to sue me. Please sue me at your earliest convenience. I can provide my personal contact information via PM and promise to promptly answer your complaint.

I'm not sure if you are being sarcastic for humor's sake, or are dodging the question altogether, for I will certainly not sue you over such a frivolous topic.

Please sue him. Poor law students need frivolous lawsuits from patriotic Americans like you to stimulate the industry.
