“Boni judicis est ampliare jurisdictionem.”

It is the part of a good judge to enlarge his jurisdiction.

Timeless Jefferson.

They can issue their mandamus or distringas to no executive or legislative officer to enforce the fulfilment of their official duties, any more than the President or legislature may issue orders to the judges or their officers.

I contend that the courts have no power to force the acceptance of open homosexuals in our Armed Forces. The President is CIC and under Article I, Section 8, Congress has the power "To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces."

What say you?

In a letter, and certainly with no intent to educate the public at large, Jefferson deals with a problem that has nearly overwhelmed our late republic. Our federal courts have assumed legislative and executive powers and deigned themselves to be superior to the other branches.
