Activist Federal Judges Make Up Their Own Rules

[CPA2]

Well said. Also, I think a lot of Democrats are unwilling to challenge the power of judges, because the issue of activist judges is played up in the media as part of the “conservative” agenda. They insinuate that all the activist judges are liberals. Not true. I’ve heard just as many stories of right-wing activist judges. The problem is one of Government seizing too much power, particularly, judges stealing power away from jurors. But the media likes to turn it into a left-versus-right debate. I think the best thing this nation could ever do is abolish the poltical parties, and take every issue one at a time, and base desicions on logic, not loyalty.

I am in favor of only one law, the sunshine law. Let all of the laws expire and let us start again with the Bill of Rights as our guide. We have lost our way.

A system based on taking from the “haves” and giving to the “have-nots” will fall apart. “Many people would perceive their needs as more urgent than other people’s needs (Sexton, 1999). “If what people get is to be determined by ‘fairness,’ who is to decide what is ‘fair?’…In addition, if what people get is determined by ‘fairness’ and not by what they produce…what incentive is there to work and produce (Friedman, 1990)?” “If all are to have ‘fair shares,’ someone or some group of people must decide what shares are fair – and they must be able to impose their decisions on others, taking from those who have more than their ‘fair’ share and giving to those who have less (Friedman, 1990).”
