Judicial activism has negated the legislative branch. Laws are made
by judges under the guise of interpretation.

For fashion, consider how "faggot" is interpreted as non-protected
"hate speech," while "homophobe" is not, as the NJ business heats up.

Uh, no, not so. The pesky Constitution was written to provide a basis
for future laws. In 220 years, give or take, there have been very few
changes
to
the document. And our founding fathers made it exceptionally
difficult to change specifically to protect if from people who would
prefer to ignore certain aspects, or to change them to suit their, or
a locally
fashionable,
whim.




Once again the public schools have failed us. Judges do not make laws.
They interpret and adjudicate them. The legislature makes laws. Its that
whole 3 seperate arms of government concept.

Yes, the public schools _have_ failed us. The legislature makes "statute
law". Judges make what is called "case law", which is just as much a part
of the law as statute law. Further, you're missing the point.
