Ahhhhh, as for the Supreme Court being this exclusive gruop pf jurist who are concerened with only interpreting the Constitution... Bull!!!

That's right... Bull!!!

Our Constitution has been interprted thousands of times since it was written... And that is a good thing... Each time it is interpreted that new interpretation is what is called precedence...

It's when courts ignore precedence that we have waht is know as "activist courts"... The Warren Court ignored precedence because the time had come for black folks to come out from under Jim Crow's heel... That was a good thing and moved the country further down the road toward being a just and civil society...

The Warren Court, though Chiel Juastic Earl Warren resigned in 1969 continued well into the 70's in it's "activism" in rulings that, IMO, did move the country forward...

Problem is that with every action there is an equal reaction and since 1980 the court went through a period of "less activism", but as one Repub after another nominated conservatives to the bench the court is now the exact opposite of the Warren Court...

This isn't as much about stict or loose constrution but politics...

The court has become extremely partisan and political and regardless of the tides of liberalism that is taking hold in the country, the counmtry will have to dance around this court for the next 2 decades and Congress will have to dot every "i" and cross every "t* if it enacts anything that resemebles "liberal" legislation...

And that, my friends, is the way it is...
