Nope. To make and enforce laws via the Constitution, not merely what people want.
People decide what is in the Constitution, and how it is interpreted. I'm not surprised you don't know that.
This is nonsense, the SCOTUS unilaterally interprets the Constitution, not the people.
So your position is that Neil Gorsuch has no business interpreting the Constitution because he wasn't put there by the People?

None of the SCOTUS judges were voted on by the people, they are all unelected. They do not or should not be deciding what's in the Constitution or interpreting it based on what they think the people want.
Judges are appointed by elected individuals whose election delegates them the power to appoint judges.
And thereafter the judges do as they damn please. Some are activists who support their own ideologies/parties and some interpret the Constitution without regard to politics. But once appointed and confirmed, judges don't have to do what is popular. Clearly in many cases they don't, otherwise the ACA would be a distant memory.
