LAT: Supremes misread statute

Apparently unaware that the Supreme Court is the final authority on what a statute says, the LAT argues today in an editorial, incredibly, that the Court "misread" a statute in a 5-4 decision last year. To correct the "misreading," Senator Teddy Kennedy has introduced a bill that would change the statute. The LAT supports that bill and wrote the editorial to say so.

No problem. That's what Congress should do. After all, Congress writes the laws, the Supreme Court only interprets them and, of course, the Constitution. Liberals, like the LAT editors, want the Supreme Court not only to interpret but also to make laws, which of course is looney.
