however, its becoming a common complaint from the right and there is talk of changing the role of the courts or restricting them For the most part I think they should restrict themselves. Every now and than they actually do that. No, the judiciary is part of the checks and balances. Restricting the courts would be undemocratic. The argument is that the courts have slipped off of their prime check and balance, that balance being that they are only supposed to interpret law not invent it. I'm not pushing for some constitutional amendment to severely weaken the courts, but such an amendment would be neither undemocratic nor unconstitutional, even if it might be unwise. If such an amendment did pass I would not be a shock if it was poorly written, or to see it go to far or for it to not be accurately aimed at the problem. It might well have negative consequences, potentially very negative consequences, but it would if it came to pass, be voted in through the democratic process (and thus by definition it would not be undemocratic) and it would be part of the constitution (and thus by definition it could not be unconstitutional).
