To “make justice bigger can only mean to make government bigger.
And government is too big already.
"Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we dont want to have too many of." - United States Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, quoted in Emily Bazelon, "The Place of Women on the Court", The New York Times Magazine, July 7, 2009 |
You’re confused. Liberals can legislate from the bench, conservatives cannot.
Understand?

As the season approaches, I’m reminded of one of my warmer Halloween experiences from a few years ago — beating a young lady in a black robe with RBG letters in a costume contest.
So, she cheated.
Like all modern leftist judges, she absolutely wanted to a lawmaker. And being a judge, by her premises for judges, was the right place to be.
A legislator may pass a law, but any judge can invalidate it. And any judge can write their own rules, with little or no likelihood of it being invalidated, except by another member of the judge-club.
It wasn’t supposed to be this way. But it sure has worked out this way.
Yes, “judicial review” and “abortion” don’t belong in the Constitution.
Oh, wait....
exactly
Good points. There would not be the battles over abortion that we’ve been having if the issue had been addressed in the State legislatures. The invention of law by judges is transitory. It can be reversed at any time.
The USSC should be determining matters of law. If they want to beat a drum for injustice there are plenty of examples. Like the 5 year prison sentences for storing Weed-B-Gon wrongly. There’s plenty of cruel and unusual penalties passed by legislatures every year. Any American commits at least two felonies every day unknowingly thanks to the overreach of State and Federal lawmakers. Maybe the USSC could address those issues rather than carrying water for Parties that can’t get their per legislation passed and signed.
They can’t get underground fast enough to suit me....27 years of stupid is enough!!!
So... what was YOUR costume??
Appropriately, Bob the Builder.

OMG
Article is a refreshing contrast to Republicans’ usual compulsion to say nice things about leftist jurists who have spent years demolishing America from the bench. They did the same thing when Thurgood Marshall died. These jurists had their good qualities, but the damage they did should not be swept under the rug.
