There are bad judicial decision just like there are bad laws. the system we have no is as good as it gets. There has never been a better one in human history. Throwing out MvM would basically shrink us down to 2 branches and concentrate power. There is nothing stoppping Federal and State Legislatures from passing a Right to Life Constittuional amendment. Or appointing better Justices. Or passing a Term Limit Amendment.

The point is this: do we want to be ruled by judges who think they're Gods or will the people be masters of their own destiny. The struggle over judicial review is really a battle over who runs America. I trust the elected representatives of the people to interpret the laws more fairly than I do any judge to do so since in the final analysis, an elected representative remains subject to the people's oversight and is accountable to them for his conduct.

If the Framer's intended the judiciary to have the final word over the Legislature why didn't they just spell out "Judicial Review" in The Constitution? Why were they so fearful of an out of control judiciary? Why did they limit the powers of the judiciary, and give Congress authority to limit their scope?

When you start answering these questions you get an idea of what the Framer's were afraid of, and why they concentrated power in the elected branches of government.
