Re: "What good does it do to have 500 representatives of the people make law when one unelected man can declare it null and void then proceed to craft and enforce his own without accountability?"
You mean to say - that if a person saw a house on fire and children screaming for help inside - but there was a sign on the yard saying "No Trespassing" - you would just stand there, do nothing, and let them die - because the sign said "No Trespassing"?
The Presisdent saw for himself that there were disturbing questions in this case that needed to be investigated.
I believe thae he and Jeb saw that "No Traspassing" sign and decided to act!
Florida denied custody.
I was talking about unelected Federal Judges acting as gods. I was not talking about the President or Governor who have to answer to the voters.
