No, judges make law, executives implement what they think the judges meant. Legislators just sit around, look pretty, "investigate" something, and collect a paycheck.

"Judges make law, executives interpret law. Its the new American paradigm."

And Congress? Mmmmmm..lemme guess. Shows up only on paydays, takes money under false pretenses, votes themselves another raise, then goes back to ogling chicks at Starbucks.

In Massachusetts, the judges make law and the executives and legislatives do nothing. In San Francisco, its the people who make law, and the executives and judges who flout it.

And politicians do not enforce the law when it does not do what they want, they just tell the judges to make new ones. It is a strange form of dictatorship, but it works.
