Judge do not evaluate, they dictate.

Thomas Jefferson referred to out of control judges as "judicial despots". Florida is crawling with them. Lots of people are hesitant to file legit lawsuits here because they don't trust the judges.

I heard about this new problem from an attorney. People do not trust a judge to judge fairly. They are avoiding court even with valid claims.

Florida's Judicial System is broken and nobody here seems to care except the people are mere taxpayers. The Florida Supreme Court are liberal extremists, even Jeb's appointees.

So there is clearly a problem with the one branch of government, as you and others have noted, as illustrated by this problem as well as the tragedy of the Schiavo case. But the other two supposedly co-equal branches of government are unable or unwilling to perform their legally mandated duty to exercise some form of restraint over the out of control branch, i.e., establish some measure of checks and balances. When they try, they get slapped down, and they cower in fear and are paralyzed before the bluster of the tyrant. This shows that the Republic no longer functions as envisioned by the Founders.

What is equally disturbing is that there are some, including people right here on FR, who applaud this obvious breakdown in the Constitutional Republic. The Founders never intended that one branch would assume disproportionate power. If it tried, the others were to step in and re-establish some semblance of balance. That this is not happening should be of concern to everyone, especially those on FR and similar places who say they value the constitutional republican form of government.
