Another federal judge has ruled that Bush's warrantless wiretapping program is unconstitutional. "There are no hereditary kings in America and no powers not created by the Constitution," the judge said.
Last year, federal judges around the country refused a White House demand that they intervene in the Terry Schiavo case in Florida and order a feeding tube reinserted in the comatose woman doctors had found to be brain-dead. The autopsy confirmed that diagnosis.
Federal courts also have struck down the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003 proudly signed by Bush. Judges have declared the law unconstitutional because it lacks an exception to protect the health of the woman.
Bush has not sat idly by accepting what he calls the "activism" of federal judges. He has proposed steadily more conservative judges to be "activist" in favor of his pursuits. While Democrats have filibustered some of his nominees, he has succeeded in getting most of them confirmed.
Bush is hoping to finally control judicial branch, too
