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 do make law, every day. Were this not the case the democrats wouldn't be obstructing the Senate to insure that Bush's appointments are not confirmed. Edit-Sorry, replied to wrong person..

Courts don't have the constitutional authority to change the law, but that doesn't stop them from doing it. Show me where the courts have actually changed the law......not rule on one, but changed 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. Are you a student of the law? Do you have an advanced degree in Jurisprudence? What laws have been thrown out were laws implemented by certain factions in our society that were intended to circumvent the Constitution. ted
