Dianne Feinstein: “It's not the U.S. Supreme Court that is supposed to fix this country culturally, economically, socially, spiritually.…”

On the recordSeptember 3, 2018
It's not the U.S. Supreme Court that is supposed to fix this country culturally, economically, socially, spiritually. Courts should not try to fix problems that are within the province of the U.S. Congress, even if the U.S. Congress does not have the courage to address those problems. Our courts were not meant to decide these kinds of issues.
