Even before I joined the Navy, We had a few shows like Judge Whopner, Nowadays we have judge Judy and the like.
To many on the sidelines these judges seem to be fair, and to be fair to the telivision judges they do seem to try to invoke a sense of fairness. but this is only at the local level.
Judicial activisim that inflences real law is one of the greatest threats that any republic has ever known.
It’s simple math.
Today the Legislative branch now gives more power to the Executive, Methinks a recipie for doom.
It’s Congress’s fault too for churning out more barf than it could ever hope to digest. That begs for a huge bureaucracy to carry it all out.
It does not make sense that the judiciary is such a mess. Republicans have been in control for over 20 years of the last 30 years. Democrats really have not been president that much in recent times. One term in the seventies and a double term in the nineties. Democrats had no president in the 80’s at all. Republicans have chosen 7 of the 9 Supreme Court justices. There is really no excuse for the judiciary to be such a mess.
