The problem is not the judges but rather the Constitution.
The majority of judges on the Supreme Court are originalists as opposed to judges who believe the constitution is a living document that should be interpreted according to current beliefs, mores and needs. I am one who favors the originalists. I am against having nine citizens deciding how our Founding Fathers would have written the constitution today rather than in the 1800's. After all, our judges are mortals.
Anyone who thinking the issue of conflict between religious rights and individual rights is easy to resolve is not understanding the problem. We all agree shooting someone in cold blood is murder and should be punished. There is not unanimity as to whether abortion is murder and whether birth control is moral. Issues like this are why we have a Supreme Court and if we don't like their decision we then need to amend the constitution.

It is time to amend the constitution. Don't blame the Supreme Court.

Very interesting article. This sounds, to me, like a good way to breathe some life into an almost archaic document.
