Do some American citizens really not understand that federal or state congress create laws. then the federal or state court system up holds them?

[Reaper1985]

the federal courts systems role is to pass judgement based on laws created by federal congress and the president.

the state courts systems role is to pass judgement based on laws created by state congress and the governor.

the courts system has little to no power in the creation of laws for any topic.

Nah, that isn't true. Courts are extremely powerful. Because they are the ones who "interpret" the law. And being the interpreters, they can also misinterpret the law. Just like in the abortion ruling. The court makes the claim that the word "abortion" is not in the Constitution.

But neither are the words "fetus" or "unborn". So the court using hypocritical logic by applying a standard in one case. . . but not in another. And this is for political reasons, this is not about an attempt to apply the law fairly.

I think what some people are upset with right now is that people realize Supreme Court justices are appointed for life. And with the mix of judges we have right now they can affect policy they don't agree with for a longtime to come. They can't be voted out.
It's not that Americans don't understand. They're just not happy with it. But there is nothing in the constitution about how many judges and it has evolved over the years. Their a current movement gaining momentum to have the number increased. To sort of water down the decision making. And they feel while there's a demo ratio president obviously is the best time for that.

Well then why are people not held accountable for their crimes instead of the judge giving them low bail so they can get out and do other crimes, including murder? We have laws but they don't seem to be upheld in court.

They do not teach it. They teach Ingles, Hegel, Marx, and Feelings. The goal is Revolution not education of how we are structured as a country.
