I'm starting to like Supreme Courts very much

Every time an issue is in a gridlock in the government or has a strong yes and a strong no side of the argument normally everything stand still and nothing happens. But every now and then a real life situation occurs where the debate become real and affects someone direclty and that someone decided to lawyer.
Suddenly, the courts are now involved. There's nothing the politicians can do about it. It has fallen on the Judicial branch. The TRUE deciders of what right or not right based directly off the constitution. No political smokescreens, no riots, no protest can stop the decision. Especially when it gets to the Supreme Court.
The "Wise men" shall decide what's what.
Recently these wise men have taken great decisions. The most known of course is gay marriage. But our Supreme Court has made several good calls in recent years too.
No matter howw fucked up the legislative branch is and completely unrepresentative of what people wants, know that the Supreme Court has your back

Yeah its great to have a bunch to decide landmark cases for us. I wish there was an Amendment to state which powers belonged to states and which belong to the feds. It doesn't even have to be complicated, something like "the powers not explicitly given to the government shall be given to the states" or some shit like that.

I don't particularly like unelected judges writing law that according to the constitution should be written by congress. It sets a bad precedent. With that said I am happy gay marriage is finally legal.

No, they are demonstrably not. According to the Supreme Court, states may not ban gay marriage or abortions. Your opinion doesn't matter.

Yes. Here they are on their way towards the igloo of deliberation, carrying the traditional novelty sized shared beer mug. The cup on top 'miraculously' refills itself with beer from the keg hidden in the base.

Yes, Canada has a Supreme Court. It is overseen by the US Supreme Court.

Those issues are more fitting at state levels. There is too much skin in the game to just leave it to nine judges

I gotta agree with this. Especially since most of them have incentive to support corporations. They are just puppets of the puppet presidents that we are forced into electing.

I'll point you to the ninth amendment, which specifies there are rights not specified in the constitution
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
You should give this a read
