  Thank you for the links! Then I don't understand something: if this one party supported some topic, any topic, how come said topic is not made into law but only lives in the internal regulations of some organization? Courts applying existing law will then by necessity strike those down, by definition: if it's not in the law it will not be recognized by the courts. Simple. So the whole complaining "court strikes down something" is pointless, because the courts function as designed. I'd say the problem is the parties which don't bother making supporting laws - yes even the parties claiming to support said topic. How can a party holding majorities (in a two party system one party will always have majority) even temporary, not actually make laws? Isn't this the very reason parties exist? So I'm still confused.

People (judges) sometimes go into court with an pre-conceived notion of what is the 'correct' way to interpret things, and they think it is 'objective', but in fact has been shaped over time by (active) cultural forces: * http://magazine.law.nyu.edu/index.html%3Fp=7606.html http://magazine.law.nyu.edu/index.html%3Fp=7606.html

      My point was: if there's no law about something I cannot have any expectations from courts, so why there's no law?

        It's really hard to pass a non-budgetary law without a supermajority.

          So the solution is to have the judiciary become defacto legislators?
          • triceratops 2y ago
            They're doing that right now. That's what defacto means.
