No, they are judges not legislators nor enablers of unconstitutional legislation.
What code? Judges don't build. And they don't create building codes. They judge by applying existing codes. If those codes don't "build," it is up to the builders to change them.
A good overall government code provides for change. As does the U.S. Constitution--which does not give the judicial branch the power to change the code.
If judges create the laws which they adjudicate, that should surely be a system that Pete F would think is scary. Are you suggesting we should have such a system?
