Court is where policy is made?

If this is true, then why are libs/gays so angry at Californias state supreme court’s “policy” concerning Prop 8?

Memo to Sotomayor: The LEGISLATURE AND THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH IS WHERE POLICY IS MADE, NOT THE JUDICIARY. DO THE WORDS SEPARATION OF POWERS RING A FAMILIAR NOTE?

And who could forget this one...

Maxine Waters warns Shell president in House committee hearing

Posted: May 23, 2008
© 2008 WorldNetDaily

A report by Fox News, captured in a clip posted on YouTube.com (Must see video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUaY3LhJ-IQ) , showed Waters challenging the president of Shell Oil, John Hofmeister, to guarantee the prices consumers pay will go down if the oil companies are allowed to drill wherever they want off of U.S. shores.

Hofmeister replied: "I can guarantee to the American people, because of the inaction of the United States Congress, ever-increasing prices unless the demand comes down."

The Shell exec said paying $5 at the pump "will look like a very low price in the years to come if we are prohibited from finding new reserves, new opportunities to increase supplies."

Waters responded, in part, "And guess what this liberal would be all about. This liberal will be about socializing … uh, um..."

The congresswoman paused to collect her thoughts [for about 5-6 seconds this went on, while her colleagues behind her laughed].

"...would be about, basically, taking over, and the government running all of your companies..."

The oil executives responded, according to Fox News, by saying they've seen this before, in Hugo Chavez's Venezuela.

Thank God we white Christians don’t have to worry. No matter how this goes down, we’ll be out of here before the worst, along with Christians of every other race.

The Legislative and Executive branches need to stop being derelict in their duties by allowing activist Judges to make law.
I.e., impeach the usurpers.
But since the Legislative and Executive branches won't do their jobs -- Ms. Sotomayor is correct: "The Court is Where Policy is Made" (even President Bush shirked his duty to veto the McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Bill - thinking the Court would do his job for him ... that worked out well...).

Finally we have an issue that we will be able to see which republicans in Congress are RINOs and which ones are true conservatives.
