We have illegal left wing radical courts and a reaction to this in Congress and the House. Newtons law sates for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. They may not be able to impeach the judges but they can make new law and do not have to circumvent it.

"We have illegal left wing radical courts and a reaction to this in Congress and the House. "

You know this whole "activist judge" thing is a little old.

The judiciary is doing exactly what it was intended to do, interpret law and review the constitutionality of existing laws.

The very nature of the judicial branch, and the reason we appoint judges for life, is to maintain separateness between the judiciary and the “the people’s will”. Because separateness is the judicial branch’s best defense at being carried away on a wave of temporary national lunacy and that vital separation is what allows the judicial branch to act as a check on the legislature.

The judicial branch is not, has never been, nor should it ever be structured to represent the “people’s will”. That is what the legislative branch is for.

If you don't like the law, vote for a legislator that changes the law. This attack on one of the THREE branches of govenment is getting REALLY dangerous. Some times you like them somtimes you don't, it's still the best system every created.
