Supreme Court a dictatorship

By its (assumed) power to decide if a law is constitutional or not (a power that is not granted in the Constitution and is itself unconstitutional), the U.S. Supreme Court has taken on the authority to rule on the highest and most important issues of our time.

When the high court makes its rulings, its decisions are based more on the feeling of the justices than on any guidelines in the U.S. Constitution. The Supreme Court is quite simply making up new laws to suit its own philosophical orientation. After the Supreme Court has made its ruling there is no appeal to its decision.

Nine justices have taken it onto themselves to be the highest legislative and moral authority in our country and we have no say in the matter. That is not democracy. It is instead a dictatorship. We need a constitutional amendment to limit the power of the Supreme Court and to return the legislative authority of our country back to our elected representatives in Congress.
