Should the US Supreme Court Decide Cases Based on the Constitution or on Fairness?

Do you know a better form of government? I'm honestly courious.
(Of course there is absolute monarchy, but that would only be better if i were the queen )


I don't think the answer should have anything to do with political viewpoints. There's a constitution, and Courts have to decide by that. Period. No matter who's in charge of the legislation. It's called separation of powers and everywhere this principle has been or is violated there's big troubles.

True, I agree but Poitical Views Points in this country have always made the decison, look at the recent ruling n Gun Contro, all Conservatives said the Consistution specificly Guarantees everyone therigt to bear arms, the Liberals said, True but thatwas WAY before hand guns were know as they are now, the Conservatives voted Washington DC ban on hand guns UNCONSTITUTIONAL, the Liberals Vted the Opposite, thisis a GREAT example of Poltical Viewpoits deciding as case, is that good, no but this is howe their view pointso n the law interpret the 2nd Amendment, thier VIEW of the 2nd Ammendment
I am not taking a for or Con on thier viewpints but rthersimply pointing out a case where it may have been used

Backwards. It's a difference of Constitutional interpretation that has become politicized. The Constitutional language is clear -- and the Court's decision was the correct one. In changing times and situations, the correct path isn't to change the interpretation of the Constitution, but to change the Constitution itself -- if things have really gone so far afield from the founder's intent, with more powerful weapons, then a Constitutional Amendment is the procedure to clarify or update the language -- not simply reinterpreting it based on who's in political power at the time.

This isn't simply because I agree with the decision. There are any number of cases that I disagree with the outcome, but agree they're the right decision under the law and Constitution.
