I believe that the people should be represented by legislators and governors.  

That social change should be done by them, not by five unelected Justices of the Supreme Court.  

In Oregon, civil unions were legal; gay marriage was not by a vote of the people.  Five Justices of the Supreme Court changed that.  That is fine for those who like the changes the Justices made.

Elsewhere today, one of our posters thinks Citizens United, which gives corporation the ability to spend unlimited money to elect candidates is wrong.  Five Justices of the Supreme Court overturned the Federal Election Commission established by Congress to get that result.

Interpreting the law is one thing, changing the law by five judges is something else.
