From "Slouching Towards Gomorrah", by Robert Bork:
"It is arguable that the American judiciary-the Supreme Court, abetted by the lower federal courts and many state courts-is the single most powerful force shaping our culture.....The Court today is, as it always has been, a legal institution, but it also undertakes to decide hot button questions of culture and politics that are, strictly speaking, none of it's business."

In the span of my lifetime, the judiciary, at all levels, has gone beyond it's constitutional mandate, preferring instead to engage in social engineering. Thus, a liberal agenda that most Americans find abhorrent is being forced upon them by an activist judiciary acting far outside it's powers.
As loath as I am to monkey with the Constitution, it might be the only remedy the American electorate have left. The will of the people was never meant to be circumvented in this way. The process has been perverted.
