KD,
What country have you lived in for the last 30 years. Has nothing to do with right-wing radio as I have never once in my life listened to any of the radio talking heads. Heard a few sound bites when some big deal is made on actual news but never heard any of the idiots from left or right. I like to try to think for myself.
If you have not seen judges making law from the bench in the last years pull your head out of the sand or quit listening to left-wing radio saying the decisions are the peoples will. This countries legal system has gotten out of hand. Lawsuits over everything from hot coffee being hot to the newest one heard the other day coming home from fishing......some guy wanting 2mil because he asked for no pickles and got pickles at burger king. Traumatized you know.
Activist judges.....yeah. Everything is a lawsuit these days. Cant get what you want via legislation, find the right judge with the right district court behind them. You will get your law. Just keep sueing and someone will rule your way sooner or later.
I just think we should vote on laws or they should be made by those we elected(not that I always like the outcome then either but at leaast I had a say) Judges interpret.....we vote. I believe that was how democ works. I guess that is crazy talk. Radical right wing stuff.
