States' rights

I suggest that anyone who thinks that Federal courts are the absolute and final authority of the Constitution read this column and the Kentucky Resolutions of 1798, written by Thomas Jefferson.

Isn't that scenario known as "kangaroo court"?

Wouldn't it be the same as signing a contract in which one side decides whether or not to hold an arbitration hearing, and if one is to be held, the same party establishes the very fora in which the proceedings take place?
