The usurpation of power by the judicial branch has become striking; creating law out of personal whim is the forte of the US SC and the entire Federal Judiciary. And it has been so for at least the last 50 years.

Aye! Law by judicial fiat. That is what it has become. The judge makes a law, out of thin air, and voila! in come the marshals to enforce the "rule of law". Say what?

You know, I am listening to Fox News and they are saying that we are a nation of laws, etc, etc, and I say to myself, why yes we are, but what laws? When a judge says something is that a law? Is he ruling on the law? If so, what law. Legislatures make laws, not judges. But it seems that nowadays it is the other way around. I am truly troubled by this. But what to do...

The case in Alabama is a striking example. A federal judge makes a "ruling" and it is a law? What law is being enforced? What law is he ruling on. The Constitution says that "Congress shall make no law..." so what law is this federal judge ruling on? Hmmm? Would someone out there tell me. I am open to instruction.

I've been thinking the same exact thing myself.
