You can see the ACLU and AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL in Florida were busily supporting the judiciary, their favorite branch of government in 2000.
Koerner, of Amnesty International, attempts to prop up the courts by smearing Jeb Bush as a supporter of repression, discrimination, extermination, hate, elitism, power, oppression and racism. She describes legislators as predators.
There are three articles at that web page, which discuss their view of the power fight between the courts and Jeb Bush and the Legislature.

"Power is the great evil with which we are contending. We have divided power between three branches of government and erected checks and balances to prevent abuse of power. However, where is the check on the power of the judiciary? If we fail to check the power of the judiciary, I predict that we will eventually live under judicial tyranny." -- Patrick Henry
"The Judiciary of the United States is the subtle corps of sappers and miners constantly working under ground to undermine the foundations of our confederated fabric." -- Thomas Jefferson
