How exactly do conservatives enact and enforce laws when black letter laws are routinely overturned and subverted by liberal courts?
Liberalism is no longer advanced through law; it is advanced through court edict. Time after time the clear meanings of laws and the Constitution itself are swept aside by judges with a liberal agenda. I cite the gay "marriage" movment going on right now. Judges are running rough-shod over the wishes of a large percentage of the people and their legislators.
Judges are increasingly MAKING law, not interpreting it. It seems to me it is the liberals who couldn't care less about the law.
I made my strongest such claim in a Village Voice article two weeks ago in which I, after much thought, chose to say conservatism was "verging on becoming an un-American creed" for the widespread way conservatives are ignoring the lessons of James Madison's great insights in Federalist 51 that in America we are supposed to place our ultimate trust in laws, not men.

Yes. Sometimes unelected judges overstep their bounds. The most grievous examples these days come from conservatives in the "takings" movement going after eminent domain.
What did you think of the Supreme Court, in Loving v. Virginia, running roughshod over the majority of Americans who thought states should be able to outlaw marriage between people of different races?
You nailed it. I cannot recall a conservative Supreme Court Justice saying she doesn't follow the US Constitution but follows "international law". She should have been removed from the Court but since she is a liberal it wouldn't be PC I guess
