You're right. So in Jeb's eyes, if the FL State Supreme Court declared because of some technicality in the FL State Constitution that some minority group did not have the right to vote, he would uphold that law.

Everyone who is not a Leftist sees the incredible problem we have by not having a legislative loopback to trump judicial activism, but no politicians are willing to do anything about it.

Beautiful.

Why?

Because: "... the rule of law carries the ever-present danger of becoming rule by judges and lawyers. "

Overwhelmingly, politicians are lawyers and therefore, satisfied with the system and their role in it.

The legislative loopback is there - impeachment. The problem is the flim-flam politcal class at all levels. Last week Congress issued a supoena. Greer openly defied it. If mere peons were to do this, we'd be cited for contempt of Congress and hauled off to jail at gunpoint by the Feds. If Congress cited Greer with contempt and the administration ordered the Federal Marshall Service to arrest Greer, he would not have been sitting on the bench to deny Jeb Bush's DFS petition in the first place. If a few of the lawless Marxist ideologues sitting on the FL Supreme Court had been impeached and removed for their antics in 2000, there may have been some more reasonable judges to review the Governor's DFS motion.

It's all a kabuki dance, a show put on by Republican politicians for the benefit of pro-lifers. If the folks in charge really wanted to save this woman, it would have been done long ago. Judicial rule is the perfect means for the political class to implement its agenda without having to take the political consequences (being voted out of office). Look at how fast they got rid of Judge Roy Moore in Alabama. (I'm not even bothering to mention the Dems here because any conservatives in that party have been effectively purged.)

The decent, patriotic folks who make up the rank and file of the conservative grassroots have been betrayed over and over again by the gang that has ruled the Republican Party since Bush 41. Despite Republicans having control of both houses of congress and the presidency, the country relentlessly marches leftward under the command of an out-of-control judiciary with a wink and nod from the legislative and executive branches.

We need to give up the notion that we can compromise or reason with leftists, whether they are Democrats or Republicans. The left hasn't waffled or compromised one iota on their agenda. The Republican problem lies in the fact that leftists are present in the party, and exert commanding influence beuase of the vast amount of wealth they control. It is entirely possible that we'll get the Henry Ford-style (you can have any color you want as long as it's black) choice between a gun-grabbing, pro-abortion, pro gay lobby, open-borders "conservative" like Giuliani and the Hildebeast in 3 short years.
