Apparently there are some on FR who have no regard for the rule of law.

The rule of law, and the rule by judges are not the same thing. That is what the hoohah is all about.

Each branch is supposed to be restrained by the law as written, most especially the highest law, the Constitution of the United States, and that of a particular state if applicable. Increasingly the Judges and Justices, Congresscritters and Presidents too, are ignoring that highest law, and just doing whatever strikes their fancy.

And your solution for the problem of one branch of government ignoring the law is to have the other two branches ignore the law as well. How ignorant.

Wouldn't it be better for the other two branches to follow the law, change the offensive parts of it (such as declaring a feeding tube "life support") and to appoint people who believe in following the law to judgeships?
