In the Constitution, they became little kings.

Nowhere in the Constitution does it give that court the right to determine constitutionality of laws and legislation.

Constitutionality is to be determined by we the people. Not by 9 unelected judges. It goes against all the checks and balances of the Constitution. It gives ultimate control to unelected ideologies.
