did make an effective remark but you don't understand enough of what you said to understand my response. In your earlier post, you said that "judges shouldn't change the laws or the Constitution". Well, they don't......never have, never will.

What they do do is interpret laws to determine their constitutionality or their fairness. When they are proven to be unconstitutional, then legislatures may change the law....that's their job, not the courts.

Courts don't have the constitutional authority to change the law, but that doesn't stop them from doing it. They have not only tossed out laws without solid support in the constitution, but have created new legal requirements, even spending requirements, taking to themselves the power to create legislation and even control budgets.
