"Do you ever have one of those days when everything seems unconstitutional?"

The cartoonist of this picture definitely has a negative opinion on the Supreme Court's authority to declare things unconstitutional in a court of law. This cartoon is basically saying that the Supreme Court's powers and decisions are not always justified, and on any given day they can decide whatever they're feeling in regards to constitutionality. In essence, they don't necessarily follow guidelines on whether or not something is constitutional, they just go off of what they personally feel (which is not how it should be). On some levels I do agree with this cartoon, because it really does depend on how they're feeling that day, but at the same time that is their job and they were chosen to do it for a reason, so they must know what they're doing. For example, in the first court case of Brown v. Board of Education (1954), the segregation of public schools was ruled unconstitutional. In the point of view of this cartoonist, the outcome may have been different depending on how the judges were feeling that day. It could have been ruled indeed constitutional and there wouldn't have been Brown v. Board of Education II or III and not as much progress would have been made in the fight against segregation; all because the judges were feeling a certain way that day. In the future, it would definitely be reassuring to know that court decisions are not made off of personal biases so that everything has an equal chance when it comes to constitutionality, but that can never be guaranteed.
