The SCOTUS doesnt rule it opines You are exactly right. The Supreme Court does not 'Rule' at all, is just gives an opinion. The Congress has neglected its lawgiving duties, preferring to allow the Court to render politically difficult opinions and then calling that a ruling for political cover.
Thank you for pointing that out. I am always amazed at how few people read the original document, preferring to hear another's opinion at to what it means.

Correct, and the most frustrating thing about that is that Congress, the house anyway, is supposed to represent the people. They, and by extension "we", are granted the most power in the US Constitution. However, congress has surrendered significant aspects of that power to the executive and judicial branches over the years, in order to pass off responsibility and blame. Our current form of federal government would be unrecognizable to the founders. It would only be a shadowy reflection of what they had initially intended.
