Libs chasing minority rule? Take a look at how many times the republicans have used the filibuster in this congress to rule with a 41-59 minority.

The courts are obligated to interpret laws - and often that means one judge or a small panel will overrule something enacted by a far greater number. However we also grant veto power to executives, who can use it to unilaterally overrule their legislative body. And just as a legislature can overrule a veto, Judges' decisions can be overruled by changing laws or amending constitutions.
