Exactly.
Courts function in a time frame outside what must of us even perceive.
They are there for the ages, and must act with the patientce that calls for.
That is why I just laugh till I cry about Delay recently. His want to change the judiciary is far beyond the power of congress, as the judiciary is not there ti serve popular opinion whether it be about sodomy or brain damage. Rather, the juducuary is there to interprete the law. Congress makes the laws, lower judges interprete them when asked (with careful patience and study I might add), and the SCOTUS decides if a law is legal to be interpreted.
