But isn’t that accurate in that appellate courts rule on the constitutionality of legislation?

Ummm… judges are supposed to be interpreting the law, based on the language thereof, legislative history, and precedent; not “making policy”. You do get the distinction, right? They’re supposed to be acting as neutral referees, not picking the winners.
