Outside influences or the fear of partisan retribution should not deter justices from their primary mission of rendering fair and impartial decisions based on the current law. If anyone should become upset about a decision, change the law, do not attack a court or a judge that is merely interpreting the law.

I quite agree.

Unfortunately, judges often drift over into rewriting the law to their own preferences, and if they insist on injecting themselves into the political process, they shouldn't be surprised if the political process fights back.

supreme court judges (state and federal)

make law by interpriting law.

that is why when a USSC candiate who is asked “will you respect stare decisis?” is a 100% BS question by the persons asking and answering. The USSC ROUTINELY ignores or deliberatly overturns past rulings.
