From Roberts' comments: The Framers were not the sort of people, having fought a revolution to get the right of self-government, to sit down and say, 'Let's take all the difficult issues before us and let's have the judges decide them.' That would have been the farthest thing from their mind."

It would also be the farthest from our Founders' minds to have Congress or the President deciding.

There is a clear thought.

Even Congress and the President are not to trample on the rights secured by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

In that case, the SCOTUS should strike them down. Not adjust it, reinterpret it...but just strike it down.
