Dangers of Judicial Activism/Supremacy: Protect Religious Freedom | Protect Religious Liberty
The Congress, the Executive, and the Court must each for itself be guided by its own opinion of the Constitution. Each public officer who takes an oath to support the Constitution swears that he will support it as he understands it, and not as it is understood by others. It is as much the duty of the House of Representatives, of the Senate, and of the President to decide upon the constitutionality of any bill or resolution which may be presented to them for passage or approval as it is of the supreme judges when it may be brought before them for judicial decision. The opinion of the judges has no more authority over Congress than the opinion of Congress has over the judges, and on that point the President is independent of both
Nowhere does the constitution say only the SCOTUS may interpret it. All 3 branches have equal authority to do so and if any branch should be denied the authority it should be the federal judiciary since they are NOT elected.
