Courts don't make law. We have to fiercely combat that notion. It's destroying our free republic.

Courts decide individual cases which are brought before them, according to the Constitution and the laws which have been duly passed by the people's representatives. If they do more than that, they are outside their constitutional jurisdiction and should therefore be promptly removed from office.

Only the legislative branch, the representatives of the people, are authorized to make laws.

The United States Constitution

Article I

Section 1.

All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.

And, of course, if the legislative branch passes legislation that violates the Constitution, or the Natural Law, that too is lawless, having been done outside the lawful jurisdiction of any branch of government.

"A unjust law, is no law at all."

-- Augustine of Hippo
