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.

That's a good one!! If I hire someone to "interpret" spanish for me
and he tells me that "uno" means "take out the trash", he was NOT
interpreting, he was just making it up. That is what judges do as far
as I am concerned. When Supreme Court Justice Blackmum spoke
approvingly about a "living Constitution" he was simply saying that he
was happy that he did not have to abide by some document written and
approved by some old white guys and that he (with the concurrance of 4
other Justices) could just make it up as they go and "pass laws" by
decree. This is the very definition of a dictatorship - or more
specifically an Oligarchy - 9 people in power for life that can make
law by decree.
