Does the Supreme Court use its power/authority wisely?

Opinions???
Why or why not?

The politcians only appoint justices who will legalize their unconstitutional big government policies.

That's a bad question.

The Supreme Court should not have any power. They should simply explain the law. If they use power then they have failed.

[teh_1337sauce]

That's part of my question, the Supreme Court has done more than interpret the law that they were appointed to explain. Do you believe they've done so justly or unjustly?

Almost all of our government is unconstitutional per the 10th amendment, as well as some of the others. The politcians appoint judges who will ignore the constitution as it was intended and pass their big government legislation, despite it violating the 10th amendment.

so is the supreme court wrong in attempting to twist the constitution to liberal or conversavitely radical positions?

They are doing what they were put there to do.

[teh_1337sauce]

weren't they put there to state the law- to know the law?
i don't remember twisting and re-interpreting the law as part of the job description...?

That is the job description to the letter.

Theyve gone past that....interpretation of the law has become legislation from
the bench. Power again has corrupted.

I think that you need to provide some exact examples so we're not talking about vague issues like "legislation from the bench".

One of the things that always concerned me was approving and appointed judges based on their political and religious beliefs. Asking a judge how he feels about "Row vs. Wade" or any other issue is a direct conflict of interest.

This is making the watch dogs of our government irrelevant.
