The Court is here to make sure laws are followed not to make new law by interpretation. That is why we have a legislative branch of government. They should not guess at what the founding fathers specifically meant by the law through their own interpretation. But should look at the merits of the specific case at hand and decide as honorable men and woman coming down on the side of law and not fairness (though I wish were the case) for that is their responsibility. I pray for fewer egos more humility for every judge at what ever level. What make it all work is our equal three branches of government with its checks and balances; Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. And with no one branch having more rights or powers over the other. Lets%u2019 keep it that way, no more legislation from the bench that is the legislatives job.
