They ruled that even though the ban on gay marriage does not violate the state constitution, they don't give a flying #### and said that in 180 days they will ENACT A LAW allowing it if the legislature fails to create one.But this that a crime in and of itself? If so, what exactly is the crime? (I'm not challenging you, I'm just wondering.) Usurping legislative -- while morally and Constitutionally wrong -- is not a punishable crime like robbing a post office.

You answered your own question. "It is constitutionally wrong", which is a violation of their sworn duty to defend the constitution.
The seperation of powers empowers the court to interpret the law ONLY. Creating laws is the job of the legislature.
Since the seperation of powers is outlined in the constitution, they are in breech of their oath and therefore should be removed from the bench. IMO
