That's false equivalence and you know it. The Supreme Court is acting within its purview when it interprets the Constitution. Disagreement with DK does not a tyrant make.

Actually the responsibility of the Supreme Court according to the Constitution itself in section 2 of Article 3 is to make determinations as to the interpretation of the Constitution. No one is "changing the Constitution at will", though. The Supreme Court didn't add the General Welfare clause.

Can you explain the difference, in your mind, between general and specific funding? Can you give examples of each?
