In a common law system (England), the opinion of the justices could easily be considered the "letter of the law".
Interesting scenario: THe judges are the final interpreters of the laws AND constituion. They could rule that the constitution gives them additional powers. Example: The Jay court (lawyers please feel free to correct me) ruled that it had the power (constitutionally) to interpret the constituion. Interestingly enough, it could be argued that the SC decided it could grant itself powers under that decision.
