I dont agree. The courts are taking powers that were devolved to the legislatures. Basically you are allowing federally appointed people to make your laws for you. We might as well have a nobility at that point, because that is what we are creating.
You dont see a problem with one branch of the government trumping another? Even worse its the very branch that is supposed to be the referee in the situation. Its like allowing a football ref to decide its now 12 yards for a 1st down instead of 10.
It is our system of checks and balances. It has worked for 235 years
Our supreme court does act like referees. They do not make the rules but they are the ones who spot the ball
I have to disagree there. Roe V. Wade was the court making a rule. No where is the consitution is there a right to an abortion. The court made crap up, and we are left with the divided results to this day.
In the case of abortion, they pulled a "lucy" on charlie brown by pulling the ball away altogether.
The Constitution is not a cookbook. It does not provide a receipe for what ingredients you are allowed to use in running your country
The Constitution provides the kitchen. The three branches of government and how they operate. Each generation gets to decide what they wil cook in their Constitutional kitchen
