Oh, I get it, you don't have any real idea how American democracy works. I guess it is to be expected, many people don't.So basically, because she has a gun. It just happens to be in a cop's hand. That would mean nothing has changed, since you wouldn't have clubbed her in the Stone Age for the same reason: she had a protector who was stronger than you.
Wrong, Sparky. The courts do not have the legal power to make law.
They have the power to interpret the law.
Technically, no. They don't. They have the power to APPLY the law. The reason laws are written the way they are is to try to rule out any possibility of "interpretation" at all. Lawmakers tie themselves into verbal pretzels trying to cover every possible eventuality and loophole PRECISELY because they don't want judges "interpreting" anything. Judges are just supposed to read the law and apply it to the case at hand.
