I was unaware that the Supreme Court considered the “greater good of society” instead of the Constitution at times! Irrelevant is a good description of judges who shirk their duty in favor of POLITICAL considerations. They exist to act as a check on the other two branches of government and to ensure that the constitution is upheld.

We should get rid of them if that is how they operate. Perhaps they could together write some kind of “Dear Abby” column if they are not yet ready to retire. They could call it Ask the Irrelevant Nine.
