And yet, we don't want judges attempting to legislate from the bench. No one likes when the other side tries it, so why should we do it?

SCOTUS is the closest thing to an exception, but there are plenty of laws that are constitutional, yet still bad. Bad laws should be fixed by the legislature. So the right way to set things straight is to try to elect people who will fix or eliminate bad laws.
