Re: What is really disturbing to me...

That's hardly the case, and you know it, or would know it if you ever read the Constitution or took a civics class. First, the only area in which the judges reign "supreme" is in the constitutional arena. If a congressionally-passed law is struck down, Congress may simply go rewrite it. More importantly though, we have this fancy constitutional amendment process which can pretty much fix all ills. Don't like abortion? Pass an amendment. Don't like flag burning? Pass an amendment. Don't like child pornography? You get the idea. The court can't do anything about a constitutional amendment, so why do so many of our allegedly outraged leaders take no attempts whatsoever to overturn the awful jurisprudence they complaint of so fervently?
