judges are appointed, and serve for life-- so they were never meant to be makers of public policy

No one is asking them to make policy, although Lord knows they do that all the time. They are being asked to enforce the Constitution. Pretty simple really. If they won't do that, they are FReaking useless.

Exactly. Just ask the newest member of SCOTUS.

"They are being asked to enforce the Constitution. Pretty simple really. If they won't do that, they are FReaking useless."
Right. Interpreting the intent of the framers, IS (part of) their job!

Is Barry an NBC as intended by the framers for the position of POTUS...or isn't he?
