No, that's the way the courts WANT you to think it works, and it "has" worked that way because the legislatures have refused to exercise their full powers. The legislative branch was and is supposed to be the final arbiter---NOT the courts. The legislature can change the state Constitution---the legislature can impeach judges. That it has thus far refused to exercise these powers doesn't mean they don't HAVE the power.
"We need to be looking at how corrupt our court system has become filled with activist judges who impose their will on the majority of us."
Yes, and one of the remedies is for the legislature to remove justices from office (by impeachment) for such malfeasment of office.
unfortunately that is the way it works I wish it were not so; however, if voters were properly educated, instead of being misinformed by the MSM, perhaps they would insist upon judges who are faithfully discharging the duties of their office. Has it escaped your attention that the Supreme Court by declaring laws unconstitutional is legislating from the bench, and their laws do not reflect the will of the majority. Make sure that President Bush's nomination are approved.
