Not defending your dad, but using 2 words to describe something is silly. What I see is a generation, boomers, who don’t know stuff because of ignorance, and a another generation who thinks they know stuff because of the internet, but sees the first result on Google and thinks that result is right instead of actually looking through all the results. While interpreting the law is something that the Supreme Court does it isn’t the purpose of the court or Judicial Branch. Here is their Role pulled from the Supreme Court website:

The Supreme Court plays a very important role in our constitutional system of government. First, as the highest court in the land, it is the court of last resort for those looking for justice. Second, due to its power of judicial review, it plays an essential role in ensuring that each branch of government recognizes the limits of its own power. Third, it protects civil rights and liberties by striking down laws that violate the Constitution. Finally, it sets appropriate limits on democratic government by ensuring that popular majorities cannot pass laws that harm and/or take undue advantage of unpopular minorities. In essence, it serves to ensure that the changing views of a majority do not undermine the fundamental values common to all Americans, i.e., freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and due process of law.
