I don’t think the courts should assume that every law the legislature does not overturn is good law that should not be changed.

Is a dram shop liability law a good thing? Why then, what does it matter how the law gets instituted? If the legislature won’t make a law, the courts should make a law. And if the courts won’t make a law, can the governor make a law? Heck, how about the Girl Scouts make the law? Why let a little thing like the Constitution stand in our way when we are doing Good Things?
