The courts should never make policy decisions. Ever.

It’s not their job.

Policy (including science and technology policy) belongs to the elected branches.

Oh - “policy”. My apologies. I was vague when I said “decisions”. I was not referring to policy decisions - but to decisions on standards.

Scientific findings are not subject to voters anyway. No-one can take a paper about DNA, wave it before Congress, and demand it be un-published. They can however demand it not be taught. That’s a design flaw in the Constitution.

And I wouldn’t put this onus on the courts, but in a parallel system of state-recognised “science courts”, elected by other scientists.
