You appear to believe what they taught you in civics class. The Supreme Court has 'redefined' the constitution several times, most notoriously under FDR's threat to pack the court. In other cases, they have just invented new "rights" with no constitutional basis whatsoever. How many Supreme Court justices have been impeached?
The legislature doesn't do what the people want; they do what they are told by the lobbyists with access to the biggest bankrolls.
The short of it- Courts do make new law all of the time, and nothing is done about it.
And by the way - the "people" have no say on constitutional amendments.

Directly, no. I didn't mean it that way. But they do vote for those who have that say.
Those choices could be a lot better imho.
