Judicial Activism Not An Illusion
The results of an American Bar Association survey shows that more than half of all Americans believe that judicial activism has reached a critical stage.
I am both surprised and unsurprised by this. First, unsurprised because the ACLU and groups like them seek to subvert the people they claim to represent by not seeking new legislation but, instead, seek judges that will reinterpret current legislation in a more favorable way toward their ideology. Judges are not elected. They do not represent the will of the people. And for them to subvert is is a clear betrayal of they people they serve.
Second, I am surprised to see that so many Americans think the same way!
Thomas Jefferson himself spoke out against the same thing. He knew what a threat judicial activism could pose to the legal will of the people. It seems that the same ACLU that misrepresents his "separation of church and state" sentiment have also brought about the fulfillment of his fear. Ironic that.
