As you noted, judges have the Constitutional authority to interpret the law. When they do anything further, they have overstepped their authority.We come full circle and get back to my point and reality.
The court did interpret the law and that interpretation is what is being overridden by the legislative branch by creating new law.
If this were to occur in every instance, then Al Gore would now be president of These United States.

I KNOW you're mistaken, that judges Constitutionally have this kind of power, but I've confused myself and have to allow that you've won this argument :-).
And not only that, but my kids are running amok while I'm involved with this, so I think it's clearly time for Xy to stop FReeping and start praying.
