Courts don't make laws, they issue rullings to the law.

Right, but their rulings themselves govern how the law is interpreted and applied, and their rulings are enforced by the physical force of the state. Therefore, they are legally binding.

Again, I reiterate: Do you want a nation where we can ignore any court order we choose merely because we do not agree with it?

There's no law being upheld from courts in America these days. Where have you been?

No, I want a nation where the branches of government keep to within their respective mandates as enumerated in the document that gives those mandates.
