Let's face it. SCOTUS gives not one crap about the Constitution. They make up its own laws based on international opinion now.

I never said they didn't. As long as they have jurisdiction over a particular case, they're going to be pulling the same crap over and over. Congress has several options available to control the federal courts including impeachment, amending the Constitution, and restricting the courts' jurisdiction.

=================================

The SCOTUS was never designed to override the Congress and Senate - which is what they do now on a regular basis.

"These judges who legislate instead of adjudicate, do it without being responsible to one single solitary voter for their actions. Among the signers of the Declaration of Independence was a brilliant young physician from Pennsylvania named Benjamin Rush.

"The question is or at least ought to be, how can such a small, godless, minority have such influence over our courts and legislative processes?"
