Ugh. No.

The judicial branch is not a political one, as the Supreme Court wisely declared the other day it is not up to them to question the will of the people.

If the people elect a congress that passes dumb laws (including those in the constitutions) it is not for the judges to overrule them.

If you can't get the people to elect a congress to make suitable laws, how is electing judges going to help?

I don't disagree that this ruling will hurt US businesses, it's just that that is a political question, and not a judicial one.
