CON Argument: The constitution does not provide explicitly for
Supreme Court review of state court decisions. Since it must have been
foreseen by the drafters that conflicts would arise, the omission is
evidence that the framers felt that such a powerful tribunal would
produce evils greater than those of the occasional collisions which it
would be designed to remedy. Thus, once an action is brought in state
court, the federal court's sole remedy is to shift it to a lower federal
court before it gets to the final court of the state, or simply to
advise the high state court that they have improperly interpreted the
constitution. The states are dually sovereign with the federal
government, and not subject to the laws of Congress which limit their
sovereignty.
