Show me where the courts have actually changed the law......not rule on one, but changed it. Courts change the law by ruling on it. Any first year law student will tell you that judicial decisions is one of the primary sources of new law. Do you not understand the basics of our legal system? Its state legislatures and Congress that create and change laws, not the courts. The courts interpret the law. When laws have been passed that violate one of our founding documents, the courts identify the error and then, its up to the offending jurisdiction to remove that law or to change it. Understand......the courts are not changing the laws but rather insuring that the law is consistent with the intent of our founding fathers. Its the local jurisdictions that are trying to make all the changes. Its a hard concept for the right to get. As to your question, how about: Rowe v. Wade Gideon v. Wainwright Miranda v. Arizona Helvering v. Horst Let's take Roe[not Rowe] vs Wade......the courts determined that preventing legal abortions was not consistent with the intent of the Constitution and the individual's right to privacy. After that ruling, the states went about removing the offending laws and passed new laws to permit abortion in the first trimester. You get the idea. Actually, I hope you get the idea......I am tired of having to tutor the right. ted
