Our government is broken into three separate branches, the Legislative which makes laws, the Executive that executes such laws, and the Judicial that evaluates and interprets laws. This separation of powers as created by our Constitution was deliberate in which the thought process was that no single branch of the government would ever be so powerful as to create a nation-state that would be tyrannical against the people, for this nation was created to be for the people, by the people, and of the people.
Today, in way too many ways, the Supreme Court isn't really ruling as to whether a law is or is not Constitutional, but has aggrandized unto itself, the ability and the power to simply create new law, where there was no law before, which because the Supreme Court is the highest court of the land, when they enact such a decision, essentially making new law, this therefore impacts the entire United States. For instance, and really irrelevant to whether you are politically left or right, the Supreme Court adjudicated recently that same-sex marriages are a national right, as well as previously that one's right to privacy entails ultimately the right to terminate one's own pregnancy.
While those that applaud such decisions are delighted with them, the fact of the matter is, that when a tribunal of nine justices are permitted to decide on vital questions that affect the whole people, and such decisions are irrevocable, than the necessity or relevancy of the legislative and executive branches have become not only nullified, but almost irrelevant. In addition, the very people that are supposed to be masters of their own country are instead to live in a country, in which nine unelected and life-tenured Supreme Court justices don't just argue over a particular and specific case, but too often render decisions in a manner that overturns long standing legislative and Constitution law, in which no longer do you have a nation that adheres to a written Constitution, but instead it has devolved into a land that is effectively run by a majority of a tribunal of nine, since they, and seemingly they alone, can decide what is or isn't the law of the land, and dictate to the people by their decisions, their activist beliefs.
Our Constitution is not a perfect document, the people that wrote it and the States that ratified it, knew that at that time, which is why there was so much debate, compromise, opinion, discussion points, and give and take at its inception. Nevertheless, this written Constitution is the law of the land, and within that Constitution there are specific ways to amend laws, such as through the ratification of Amendments to the Constitution, of which, there have been a total of twenty-seven amendments made to our present day Constitution, of which ten of them, known as our Bill of Rights, were immediately part of our Constitution to begin with.
It is one thing to made an appropriate Amendment to the Constitution, which necessitates, debate, compromise, and an appropriate majority ascending to such, and an entirely different thing, when five Supreme Court justices tell the other four Supreme Court justices what the law is, and then imprint such a law unto the American people, without this law having been voted upon, legislated, or its appropriateness debated.
The mistake that is made today, is forgetting that the Supreme Law of the land is the Constitution, itself, not the Supreme Court, as some sort of living justified embodiment of the Constitution. This would so indicate, that decisions made by the Supreme Court which are in violation to the Constitution, or activist personal interpretations of such, have no real or legitimate validity, especially because the executive and legislative branches as representatives of the people are entitled to overrule wrongful interpretations of the Constitution, or, if they do not, they have vacated their sacred duty to their constituents, our honored dead, and the founders of this great republic.
