They interpreted the words, which it what courts do.

When the words 'the people' are interpeted to mean 'the state', legislating from the bench is in action.....and something is very very very wrong.

Well... it's not like we weren't warned.

"The judiciary of the United States is the subtle corps of sappers and miners constantly working under ground to undermine the foundations of our confederated fabric. They are construing our constitution from a co-ordination of a general and special government to a general and supreme one alone. This will lay all things at their feet..." Thomas Jefferson, letter to Thomas Ritchie, December 25, 1820.
