[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

The reason that the judiciary has taken over is that the other branches of government have decided to be blindly obedient to their opinions. We should start ignoring the more outrageous opinions and return our government to the people.

That's what Alexander Hamilton suggested, in so many words.

Exactly. Our Founders, with what can only be called an amazing amount of foresight, purposely made the judiciary the weakest branch of government. To a lesser extent, Marbury v. Madison started the decent that has led us to the virtual judicial oligarchy we live under today, however the last twenty years have proved the worst. This has happened for two main reasons; the appointment of activist judges, and most importantly, the surrender of it's powers by the legislative branch. Our legislators no longer write or support laws that may be controversial, because they don't want to offend any possible voter back home. In the vacuum left behind, activist judges are more than willing to step in. We don't need to ignore them, we need to elect activist legislators to remove them; and who will do what they are elected for, creating law.
