Conservatives are fine with the founders sense of judicial independence. What Conservatives reject is the Progressive and Leftist view of judicial independence that is independent of the bounds of the written Constitution; a view that permits them to write a new Constitution, one ruling at a time by judicial writ.
Conservatives also are fine with the founders sense of the judiciary as independent from the executive and the legislature. What Conservatives reject is the Leftist and Progressive view that accepts a judiciary that smashes the bounds of its minimal separate role, for sheer political motives and political intent, to act as super-executive and super-legislature all on its own.
Conservatives do not reject judicial independence. We do reject judicial supmremacy unbound by the limited role given it.
The more things change...
By sheer coincidence, I am just beginning to read a book, which is probably considered boring in the extreme by the Gimmecrats, which threw this zinger at me...
In the preamble...
To Establish Justice...
"...This indeed is the first object of all good and rational forms of government...
"... if there are no tribunals of justice established to administer the laws with firmness and independence, and placed above the reach of the influence of rulers, or the denunciation of mobs, what security can any citizen have for his personal safety or for his public or private rights?"
The Book?
A familiar Exposition of the Constitution of the United States, Containing a Brief Commentary of every clause, explaining the true nature... ...for the use of School and General Readers, with Appendix."
Not to be confused with his Three Volume DETAILED Commentaries.
The author?
Joseph Story, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, published in 1833.
I winced when I was reminded of the nationwide (on TV) spectacle in nearby Sacramento, the Capital of California when the ball-less mayor had his meeting of the City Council brought to a halt by a young black thug jumping and sitting on the council's podium/desks, grabbing the microphone and bringing the public meeting to a halt for the night.
The BLACK thug was celebrated as a hero for weeks.
And the subject of the meeting?
JUSTICE!
