Explanation:

"Legislating from the bench" refers to judges creating laws through their rulings rather than interpreting existing laws. The judiciary's role is to interpret laws, not to make them. Telling the President about law execution (executive branch role) or Congress about passing laws (legislative branch role) is not the core of "legislating from the bench." The key aspect is judges making laws via rulings.

Answer:

They are "making" their own laws through their rulings.
