Why do politicians seek election to office if they are going to hand responsibility for legislating to unelected judges?

One of the great mysteries of our time.

The law in this case is pretty clear. It's the fact pattern that needs to be reviewed.

Yes Jeb could do more. But you and I could assembly 40 or more patriots like those who stood on Lexington Green. But it would cost us. It would take courage. And I for one have not shown any willingness to go to jail/prison. I should but I haven't.

Unfortunate choice of words. Greer is an elected judge.

They have devised the perfect system.

Once elected, they have access to unlimited booze, broads, and bribes-for life.

The only thing that can go wrong is that-quite incomprehensibly, to them-a mob of their inferiors, on election day, can bring it all to an end.

In order to prevent this, all decisions which could make someone-anyone-upset or angry, are transferred to an unelected judiciary.

Congressthings then can, and do, denounce those judges (but don't exercise their constitutional power to regulate them), while obtaining their preferred result at the same time, and, best of all, none of them loses the best job they've ever had, or ever will have.

Nice work if you can get it.

The Founders referred to (perfectly regular) Acts of Parliament as "acts of pretended legislation" because they contravened the natural law. They took these acts of "pretended legislation" so seriously that they overthrew the government over it.

The body of case law that has developed in this nation for the past 58 years is at this point an irritant to the body politic, but, inasmuch as it contravenes the intent of the same Supreme Judge to which our founders appealed to vouchsafe the rectitude of their intentions, may at some time in the future again lead to war.

This judge was elected.

I would expect that Jeb Bush understands what is within his power, and what isn't, despite what Freepers assume.

He still has to follow the law.
