The law is what judges say it is.

The law gets enforced the way the judges interpret it, but that doesn't mean "the law is what judges say it is". To say that is to say that judges are infallible.

Just that twfowler isn't the one doing the defining, and neither is CobaltBlue.

The Supreme Courts opinion is no more automatically correct then mine. The supreme court has more power but power doesn't make something correct.

The meaning of the First Amendment isn't a tabula rasa that you can write on for the first time.

You got it backwards. The court is what is treating the constitution as if it was something they can write as opposed to something already written.
