Are you being sarcastic? I honestly can't tell.<p>At any rate, in a Common Law system like the US's (and most other British Inheritors'), the outcome of a court case like this <i>decides</i> the law. The system relies on the judges to interpret the constitution's protections of rights. What they say goes. Of course, it can be appealed all the way up to the Supreme Court but then that's the final word and the lawmakers don't have much to do with it.
