The ‘courts’ have acquired far too much power in this country. The so called “judicial” philosophy of our present federal employees in black robes which is in practice little more than case by case law making with the presumption that lower courts will enforce said edicts as law.
Has proven that the real power is not in the legislator but in the employees in black robes. Far better to spend your money buying the few of them off, then the politicians who’s laws mean little to nothing in the hands of their agents who now work as dictators.
The real story is all the money that is changing hands in the un-elected court rooms.
Roughly 15 to 20 years ago, a particularly bad State Supreme Court decision in Nebraska led to one of the justices being “not retained” in the next election. Two others that sided with him left before their retention re-elections came up. The new (and the remaining old) justices stayed pretty close to the law for a while after that.
Unfortunately, the present crop of justices have forgotten this. It is time to throw some more out. One of the reasons it worked the last time is because someone put a lot of money in advertising, reminding people of the bad decision, just before the election. I don’t see anyone on the horizon doing that now.
Puh-lease! Not buying that “spending” favors right-leaning judges or that ANY of them are trying to reduce the size of government. Where’s the evidence of that? Reads like an email from the DNC to their moronic constituents in a fund raising drive.
