That is rather the point isn't it. They are spanking your kids without authority and totally outside the limits of their authority.

A federal judge raised taxes, just as they did in the 60's to pay for busing, to fund a project he favors. There is not a dimes worth of difference between "law" and "judicial edict". Both have the same effect.

Ah, but this case could make a fine lever to begin to restrict the magic wand of the current form of judicial review if we recognize it is in fact illegitimate, and demand reform. If judges are going to act as defacto legislators, appointment needs to be changed to election. As it stands, they bear no responsibility before the body politic for their decisions.
