That doesn't answer my question. Please show me where the Founding Fathers give that power to unelected judges.
I have no more desire to live according to the whims of a conservative autocrat than a liberal one.
America has been living according to the whims of autocrats since 1933.
And if you're going to bring up the Fourteenth Amendment, that's one I'd repeal in a shot if I could.
So, you DON'T believe that everyone should have equal protection under the law?
Over the last eighty years, the 14th Amendment, expansive interpretation of the commerce clause, and Presidential executive orders have been used to jam the Federal government into thousands of state and local issues where it has no business at all.
You apparently see that power and say "Why not use it for good?"
I look at that same power and say "The temptation to use it for evil is too great. It must be destroyed."
