In response to Judicial Activism posted by BrianTubbs:
It is obvious that you are pro-legislature because it is not up to the legislature alone to change laws...that is why there are checks and balances, why the Supreme Court and circuit courts are so important to American law, and why the president is allowed to veto laws. We obviously have different views on the law but I think we can agree that the legislative branch is not the only branch that governs the evolution of law in the United States. Trust me, if the Supreme Court was weak and did nothing and the Congress was the dominating force, I would be making the same arguments as you in favor of a stronger Court. Like any government institution, it only works as well as its members. At this point, they aren't doing their jobs as arbiters of constitutional law.
