Yes, but that doesn't make it right.  And remember "We the People" have
the ultimate / fundamental / primordial powers.  Or at least I (and many 
others) contend that we do.  The men who wrote the Declaration of 
Independence thought so.  So "We the People" can over-rule the courts.

Yes, and they've used it for exactly that purpose.  Again, I argue that
they've intentionally mis-interpreted that... now the trick is to 
convince enough other people to feel the same way, so we can do
something about it.
