“This should not have to be explained, but the Constitutional intent of the Supreme Court was not to solve social / economic / military problems — that is the role of Congress. It’s role was not to properly execute and administer these laws — that is the role of the President’s and the Cabinet departments he overse[e]s. The Supreme Court has the important but narrow role to judge whether the law is being followed. … Unfortunately there is a growing populist theory that the Supreme Court’s job is not to strictly follow the law but to act as a sort of legislature of last resort, to impose new law when Congress is deadlocked on an issue or to override ‘Bad’ law, with ‘bad’ defined based on the speaker’s preferences.” (02/23/26)
