I have a problem with the will of the people argument. I believe it is based on a flawed premise that gained popularity and was push by the left after Row V Wade. The poupose of lifetime appointments is to temper the current leanings of tha populace and intepret the Constitution as written. We have elections to change our law makers to reflect the current mood of the people. The Supreme Court is there to keep us from making decisions that affect us long term with the current whim of the people that can easily be swayed by a biased media. The court has currently not been doing its mandate and has been writing law (as in changing terminology in Obama Care law to make it constitutional) they should have overturned it based on the actual law as written and let the congress rewrite the law to make it constitutional. We only have proper check and balance id each branch executes their mandate as proposed by thr Founding Fathers.
