  30.  @aaronburdon221  You are quite correct. If the courts were supposed to alter the Constitution, we wouldn't really need an amendment process. Everything could be resolved by the SCOTUS adjusting the Constitution to fit the times. The Constitution begins with the words "We The People" because unlike other nations who dissolved monarchies, the US government accepts its power from the people. A nation ruled from the bottom up rather than the top down. The People accepted our constitution as a blueprint for just governance with the included Bill of Rights required for ratification. Federal power was limited by the pure text of The Constitution and further limited by the Bill Of Rights. Our nation was designed to be governed by Congress, and administered by the President with the Court to prevent either branch from exceeding their constitutional boundaries. For the last 70+ years Congress has been neglecting its authority in favor of allowing other branches to bear the responsibility. Need a war? Let the President do it. Need an amendment? Let the court do it. Our well designed ship of state has been hijacked by a professional political class never anticipated by our founders who saw government service as an inconvenient distraction from their real careers. How many people serving in office have never held an actual job? Of the rest, how many held a job that was not funded by the taxpayers? Today regulations that have the force of law are drafted by un-elected bureaucrats and powers have been granted to the federal government via The Constitution now have bizarre definitions. I would cite "Regulate Interstate Commerce" intended to prevent states from taxing each other for goods, having grown to give the Federal Government authority of every thing which includes even a component that has or might someday cross a state line. The Federal government has NO policing authority beyond its own literal property. The hundreds of agencies enforcing federal laws are doing so under either the guise of "Enforcing Taxes" or "Regulating Interstate Commerce". "Hey guys, that shoplifter just crossed a state line!" Feds: We can take it from here. The SCOTUS allowed all of this, over time, bit by bit.
