In the process of interpreting law, new law is created......inadvertently.

Completely wrong. The role of the courts is simply to enforce the Constitution first and the laws second. Activist judges ignore both to get to the outcome of their preconceived desires.

Because the courts don't interpret the laws the way the right wants, they are looking for ways to invalidate or limit the role of the courts

Actually, our Constitution gave the three branches of government different roles. Each was to be a check on the other two. Under the weakened Nixon, the legislative branch seized significant control from the administrative branch. Now the judicial branch is attempting to seize control from both.

interpretation of the law may well lead to new laws. That is the province of the courts.

"No it is not."

Yes, it is! Deal with it!

Wrong, it is simply to enforce the Constitution and the laws on the books.

If a constitutional amendment is written unconstitutionally, its unconstitutional no matter how many states approve it.

If a Constitutional Amendment is ratified it becomes part of the Constitution, and thus takes precedence over other laws and the desires of activist judges. If it is poorly written it may be open to interpretation, but it is still take precedence.
