The distinction between law and justice has been observed many times over the centuries. ("This is a court of law, young man, not a court of justice". ~Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr)

If you've got a better way to consistently administer justice other than by creating a body of laws and following them, the world awaits your solution.

Shoot all activist judges and get back to adjudicating the laws the way they were meant to be.

I can't think of one, but the laws must be followed, especially the Surpeme Law, not "gotten around", or not enforced due to technicalities that are no part of the law itself.

Laws like this one:

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President

Now if the Courts duck even trying to enforcethat law, what other parts of the Constitution are they going to duck?
