Be careful! Get uppity and they will pick a date and name it after your arrest and conviction. It’s all the rage now.

The courts need to realize that they could well become “Court Jesters” in the general public’s eyes.

Conservatives will use all the tools in the legal toolbox to pick the radicals off and replace them one after another. It takes a long time to wipe them out (years).

I had to do a similar thing as supervisor with several bad employees. Years but it gets done.

Interesting piece, but I think he is too optimistic about the possibility of fixing the problem. Too few people understand what the source of the problem is.

“The courts need to realize that they could well become “Court Jesters” in the general public’s eyes.”

They don’t care. A conservative politician pointed out that Democrats were willing to do things that will damage them in the here and now in order to create permanent structural changes that will enable them to win in the future. Republicans, he said, were too terrified to do the things they promised for fear of losing power in the now. Therefore, the structure changes over time to favor Democrats.

It is a strange phenomena that all these lower level federal courts are ruling against Trump’s actions.

“1. Identify a respected institution. 2. Kill it. 3. Gut it. 4. Wear its carcass as a skinsuit, while demanding respect. #lefties.”

Says it all. Except that the biggest institution that they're wearing as a skinsuit is the United States of America as a whole.

Much too late for my views of them.

I honestly wish I had been “normal” and naively accepting of the harm done by the judicial system like mot people who live their lives happy each day.

I know I was happy back when I was excited that Santa was coming overnight.

Only Conservatives are this dumb. Liberals and Democrats have been appointing liberal activists to the Supreme Court for the last 50 years.

Assuming they can do more than blog and vote; but, I've seen little evidence of that.

Just ask Clarence Thomas for his opinion. I’m sure he’s formed opinions of the judges he reviews.

I like the skinsuit concept—applies to so many institutions—government, science, culture and entertainment, educational, mass media, corporate, non-profit, religions etc etc etc.

Everywhere I turn all I see is leftist snakes.

When all respect for the law is lost by the mainstream of America, judicial reform may end up coming at the end of a rope.

The left doxxed the supreme court justices then refused to authorize more security for them.

As of yet the right has not doxxed the leftest judges who with no authority think that they, un-elected hacks that they are have the right to dictate government policy.

Wait until one of them gets doxxed, they will howl, gnashing their teeth and whine crawling on the floor begging for security. Will it be offered?

When respect for the judiciary reached zero what do you think will happen?

They should all be summarily impeached and removed quickly before the damage becomes too great.

I doubt they care. Displeasure is only an aberration, and it will soon pass away.

The judiciary should rule on government’s actions when those actions conflict with law. Infringing one’s right to keep and bear arms is one example. Acting to take away one’s life, liberty or property without due process is another. But something has broken. The judiciary was set up to apply the law. Judges would be expected to rule as the constitution or applicable statutes provided, even if they preferred a different result. But years of rulings springing from the judge’s personal preferences rather than the nation’s written laws have turned many courts into blatantly political institutions.
