If the legislature fails to protect equal justice, the court has nothing to strike
down so it fills in. What should they do instead? That's a straight question.


Nothing.

Our system doesn't guarantee perfection. If you want one body with the authority to address any problem not otherwise addressed by other bodies, you're talking a dictator, or a king in the traditional, not the modern, mode.

We just don't have that, and we don't want it. If the legislature leaves a gap in the protection of equal justice, then they did. That's what petition for redress of grievances is about. Along with electing different legislators.
