I think he’s trying to talk about ‘original intent’, the concept that judges should not be making up or adding to laws already in existence. But not presented well.

WASHINGTON — Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson says the United States should rethink the notion that a president must enforce laws the Supreme Court declares constitutional.
Carson said Sunday “we need to discuss” the court’s long-held power to review laws passed by Congress. That authority was established in the 1803 landmark case Marbury v. Madison.
Carson was asked on “Fox News Sunday” whether the executive branch is obligated to enforce laws that the Supreme Court declares constitutional.“We need to get into a discussion of this because it has changed from the original intent,” he said.
