“Members of this Court are vested with the authority to interpret the law; we possess neither the expertise nor the prerogative to make policy judgments. Those decisions are entrusted to our Nation’s elected leaders, who can be thrown out of office if the people disagree with them. It is not our job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices.” — Chief Justice John Roberts

While the rage at the betrayal of Justice Roberts will not go away for a while, he is right. It has been true since it was written over 200 years ago...

"Every country has the government it deserves"
