Letter to the "Editor" #2

In your editorial on the Supreme Court decision on employment discrimination you claim the court interpreted the law "too rigidly". Incorrectly? Apparently not. To simple minds the Supreme Court is supposed to "fix" things, to right wrongs, and dispense perfect justice. That is NOT what the court is supposed to do. The court interprets laws and the constitution. The result may or may not conform with the LAT's sense of justice: that is, of course, irrelevant. The editorial ends: "Unfortunately, Congress is left to act because the Supreme Court has read the law so rigidly it has misread life." Fortunately, Congress makes the laws, not the court! You seem to be confused about how the branches of government operate.
