Hi clo,
It is. If this is the way it works, I doubt America's chances as a nation in the long run. You can't have a legal system that denies a party the right to govern and a people the right to the government it desires.
It's already obvious that the advantages the US once had have been lost. On how many measures does it have to decline before folks realise the system doesn't work very well?
eg How relatively expensive does US healthcare have to become before the courts allow a government to permit a new approach? It costs 2 1/2 times as much to service the healthcare requirements of US citizens as UK subjects. That is ridiculous.
The courts have to allow some latitude for interpretation. Look at how they define the second amendment. It is possible to read words in different ways.
