Unrestrained Judicial Activism Will Destroy Our Way Of Life

You better believe it!!

The Warren Court started all this. We have no recourse against these people. They think a seat on the federal bench makes them monarchs.

Obama, the candidate who claims to have been a constitutional law professor, suggested the following criteria for selecting judges: "We need somebody who's got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what it's like to be a young teenage mom," and "The empathy to understand what it's like to be poor, or African-American, or gay, or disabled, or old. And that's the criteria by which I'm going to be selecting my judges."

Obama is advocating legislation from the bench based on emotion and empathy, not the Constitution. A constitutional law professor should better understand the role of the federal judiciary.

There is a particular constitutional law professor who would benefit from this informative introduction to the United States Federal Court System for Judges and Judicial Administrators in other countries.

Obama should have taught this...The federal judiciary is a totally separate, self-governing branch of the government. The federal courts often are called the guardians of the Constitution because their rulings protect the rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution. Through fair and impartial judgments, they determine facts and interpret the law to resolve legal disputes. The courts do not make the laws. That is the responsibility of the Congress. Nor do the courts have the power to enforce the laws. That is the role of the President and the many executive branch departments and agencies. However, the judicial branch has the authority to interpret and decide the constitutionality of federal laws and to resolve other disputes over federal laws.

Do you see any of Obama’s criteria in that description?

It’s ‘Gender Equity’ when it comes to allowing a business or a civic group to run it’s affairs. It’s ‘Income Inequality’ when it comes to the same businesses or civic groups being forced to pay for losers whom vote in more politicians whom select ‘equality’ activist judges. Our country works best with Liberty as a principle first and equality second. We are not a Democracy, we are a Republic.
