By your thinking, those Supreme Court justices who found slavery unconstitutional, segregation unconstitutional, as well as sedition laws that didn't allow you to speak ill of the government or politicians unconstitutional, would be deemed traitors by you and your ilk.

The courts answer to no one but the Constitution. They should never be swayed by public opinion. It's the checks and balance of our government. If we didn't have it, blacks would still be picking cotton and women unable to vote or own property.
