" To paraphrase Alexis deTocqueville, America is great because it is good; it will cease to be great when it ceases to be good. We are witnessing an assault on our traditional family values and religious beliefs."

Put him on the Supreme Court!

It would seem to me that it would not be without merit to establish a national association similar to the ABA, but certainly not the ABA, but perhaps made up of attorneys who have left the ABA, and headed by someone like Justice Newby to classify judicial nominees regarding their tendency to be activist or non-activist judges. This would be separate from their classification of qualified or not based on strictly knowledge of the law and court procedures, etc. This truly should be a national issue for debate with the purpose of solidifying a solution to one of the most obvious flaws in the US judicial system.

Who has the power to check a judiciary that seems to hold the final say on every issue?

It would seem that that is the function of "separation of powers". Judicial review is an artificial construct of the Judiciary that usurps the power of the Legislature and the Executive.

The Founders deliberately made the Judiciary the "weakest" branch of government for a good reason - they saw its potential for harm.

It's not that we need better judges on the courts, but that we need better politicians in Congress to oversee the courts.

Judicial activism will never stop as long as we have Congressmen and Senators who use the "skirt" of the court to hide behind on difficult issues.

The greatest threat to our electoral system is an uneducated electorate.
