Good point, CA.
I also don't think that there is some ultimate morality that can be scientifically proven to be right, most likely they would look at what is useful for society or so, as is already the case with many laws.

Science has nothing to do with morality, only the understanding of natural phenomena.
Morality being subject to reason is different.

The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! - William Pitt the Elder
Re: Morality belongs to Science and Reason, not Religion or Individual Opinion
Science and reason have little to do with morality. Without religion and individual philosophy there is no such thing as transcedental morality. "My religion teaches me that this is wrong/right" IS an arguement, just not a scientific arguement. What is wrong with you people? The best people I've ever met are bright, logical and religious. Most of the people I've known who lack the last part I have very little respect for in the long term. This is my personal, life verified position, so suck on it.

"If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
