Letter to the Idiot

Dear Justice Stephen Breyer,

Your idiocy stands alone in a sea of many other liberal idiots. Today I was reading my MSN top stories, and a story on your new book popped onto my screen. Imagine my immense surprise at your thoughts on the Supreme Court's job description. Even I, as a lowly college drop-out, took American Government when I was in school (BTW-Im a political science major), and we studied something that we in the United States call the "Constitution". You obviously have not looked over this document in a few millenia, since in the "constitution" it tells you what the Supreme Court, as the Judicial Branch of the government, should and should not do. Nowhere in the document does it say that the Supreme Court shall have the power to decide POLICY. That is what the LEGISLATIVE BRANCH is for. In fact, I believe that the SC's powers are LIMITED to deciding whether the laws made by the Legislative Branch are IN FACT - (wait for it)- CONSTITUTIONAL.
I urge you to read over your quote again, Justice Breyer, and so I am including it in this letter, "It's a Constitution that protects a democratic system, basic liberties, a rule of law, a degree of equality, a division of powers, state, federal, so that no one gets too powerful". Hmm, so that no one gets too powerful. So, you don't think that the Supreme Court deciding that since no one is doing anything about x, it is your job to fix it? Justice Breyer, if you have that much of an issue worrying about things that aren't in the Constitution, perhaps you should resign your lifetime post as Justice, and run for Congress. Or, perhaps, urge for support of a NEW constitution, since those dodgy fore-fathers got it all wrong.
Now, I'm not in total disagreement that the situation that some of the text in the constitution should be amended. This is true. When written over 200 years ago, the fore-fathers did not have the guidance to see what technology and society would bring down the line. However, this is not for you and the other 8 cronies on the bench to arbitrarily decide based on "your" gut feelings. It is for the PEOPLE of America to wake up and push for a change. Amazingly, that was the intent of the fore-fathers, for us to change it as time went on. See, I think that is the beauty of what they wrote. They had the sense to know that life would change in America as years turned into decades, which turned into centuries, and made allowances that if the Constitution as they wrote it no longer benefitted society, and charged Americans with changing it to suit the times.
