Courts should only interperate law!  So often, left leaning courts think it is their job to make law, and law is not made by the juditial system.

Air, polution, and global warming are important issues, and maybe “greenhouse gases” are bad for us, created by us, and are air polution. BUT, should the courts determine what that laws shall be? Or should they just give laws a thumbs up, or a thumbs down, and let the legistors rewrite law?

In 2007, the Supreme Court in “Mass vs. EPA” decided (5-4) that greenhouse gases are “air pollutants” and the Environmental Protection Agency is responsible for controlling carbon emissions deemed to be a public danger. Money Smart

In this case, the EPA was sued and lost.  But does it mean that it is law? Or does it mean that the EPA must have the legislators re-write law, so the the court will uphold the authority of the law?
