When SCOTUS Makes Laws That's Tough for the Legislature

What can be done when the Supreme Court of the United States is above the law and interprets the written constitution of the United States in whatsoever way it likes? Some justices interpret the constitution and the laws as they are written and appear to reasonable observers, and as they were intended or believed to be intended by those who wrote them. Other, more modern and liberal judges believe that the Court may interpret the constitution as if it were an abstract work of art and its meaning was largely subjective. That practice is corrupt.

Interpreting the constitution as strictly as the founders meant it, or as the writers of amendments to the constitution intended them is required for those that support and work for equal protection of the law within legal constitutional parameters. To do otherwise is to place oneself above the law and the constitution and usurp the role of the legislature in making laws. What can be done about Supreme Court justices that place themselves above and beyond the laws of the constitution they were employed to enforce?

The answer is contingent upon how far they have corrupted the interpretation of the law to serve their special interests. If impeachment no longer works or laws have otherwise been so deformed as to preclude legal remedies, then extraordinary measures may be necessary to restore just and righteous interpretation of the laws of the constitution as it was written.

So far the laws have been deformed only to a limited extent. The ascension to the high court of a constructionist justice recently may forestall the further deformation of legal interpretation of the constitution that is designed to benefit odd special interests.
