When would that have been, 1804? This frogs been boiling a long, long time. Blaming the people isn't really that helpful. I'm tired of it.
1803. Marbury v Madison. That's when Marshall decided that the courts knew better than the people's representatives what legislation was "constitutional".
Blaming the people isn't really that helpful. I'm tired of it.
You can be tired of it, but the fact is that this country is "supposed" to be governed "by the people" not by judges.
The people have had the power to turn the activist courts around for years, but they didn't. So, if the people run the country, and they let judges take that authority away from them who else is there to blame?
Like it or not the people are to blame for the present condition of the judiciary, and just because that idea doesn't sit well with you doesn't change the facts.
On the other hand the people still have the power to turn the courts around by pressuring Congress and the President. It'll take more than putting conservative judges on the federal benches. It'll take a people who are mad enough to change the way Congress does "business".
