There needs to be a system in place to deal with activist judges who rule by activism and politics over the constitution. A decision overturned by a higher court should go into a review process to determine the merits of the lower ruling. If it was political activism there should be a serious penalty.
“so you use unelected regulatory officials and lawyers to draft regulations and enforcement policies that carry out a political agenda that the people don’t favor”
The essence of the problem
Isn’t that an understatement of Biblical proportions?
A tradition going back decades.
It is refreshing to see that Jeff awakened from his slumber long enough to have a blinding flash of the obvious.
“Activism” replaced by “inert”.
Great! Now, they just have to solve the problem of Judicial Branch Activism ....
Sessions can tout this all day long and it doesn’t matter anymore than a tick on a dogs ass.
It’s congressional oversight that’s supposed to keep this in check. Many of these agencies (if not all) have statutory authority, if they use that in an abusive way Congress must deal with it. Not the administration because it’s just going to revert back when another hostile administration takes over.
Would like to see Sessions go after the money misspent and distributed to all NGOs, and lobby for a law passed that moves fines and penalties directly to the treasury with no bounty no bonus, no asset forfeiture given out or kept.
One approach Sessions could take is to very publicly REFUSE to follow a single Federal judge, and force the issue to the Supreme Court EXACTLY on the basis that he is now publicly explaining.
I’m not sure whether good tactics says that you take the most important issue, or one of the least important issues.
And if Trump really believes he’ll soon have another Supreme Court justice to replace, not sure if better tactics is do it immediately to get the most time with the issue, or wait till a new justice is in place.
But the problem is to set the issue clearly enough that the Supreme Court HAS to address the core issue, rather than finding some hairbrained way to rule on some nit, which seems to be their preference.
But say that Sessions could get his refusal before THIS term, then he gets it decided before June, and the administration has 2 1/2 years to avoid being stymied by the one judge block.
DOJ Activism? You mean like Civil Asset Forfeiture? Oh, wait...
Sounds promising —
He moves about as fast as a turtle, unless in has something to do with pot.
What about illegal activism?
Spineless coward.
When draining thew swamp, the first to be flushed out are bottom-feeders like Maxine Waters, and a close second are activist judges and prosecutors who have their collective lips planted on perpetrator’s butts and their political cronies. Fire all Federal prosecutors, rehire the right-minded ones, hire new right-minded ones. Same for as many judges as possible.
Well Jeffie let’s talk about there is NO constitutional law prohibiting cannabis!
So, the DACA ‘rule’ enacted by an Obama EO runs out in March, right? Can activist judges resurrect it after it dies? It was never a law anyway. I will enjoy watching them try to force it on our citizenry after it expires. (Assuming the Senate will not be able to actually support any Bill that comes up to resurrect it)
Glad to see Jeff figured out what we’ve known about for years. Obama weaponized the EPA when his cap and trade deal fell through.
If you think throwing us a bone is going to make us like you now you are sorely mistaken.
Go back to bed sleepy.
