If SCOTUS doesn’t make laws, what happened with Roe vs. Wade?

Yes, a liberal court made a law. We know it's bad law. We want a court that interpets law and not makes new laws. The only way Obama gets ruled "unconstitutional" is if all 4 strong conservatives (Scalia, Thomas, Roberts, Alito) and 1 moderate/liberal judge vote that way. Those judges, especially the conservatives, are not going to suddenly become law writers, and that's the way it should be.

I was being cynical, sorry. There is so much bench legislation these days, it really is heinous. I understand their actual role, but it’s possible for Obama to expand the number of Justices and load the court anyway. But, you point is well taken.
