Judicial Activism

Part of the Liberal platform in both the United States and Canada has been the push to elevate judges to the courts who interpret the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Laws of the Land as they feel it applies to their view of the world in which they currently live. Nowhere in any of these documents does it provide any latitude for judges to do this. In fact there are many areas that prohibit unilateral changes by courts and judges and make reference that these particular things go before the populous in a vote or are put before their elected representatives in Congress or Parliament. The problem is that far left Liberals know that many of these controversial issues would not be accepted by the voters so they find a way through the courts to get them enshrined into law without citizen representation. This is wrong and is not what our forefathers had envisioned when they drafted the documents providing the guidelines for our society. The elite leftists feel that they are far more intelligent than the regular “Joe” or “Jane” on the street and thus they can’t allow these important decisions to be left to these folks. This is why major factors that affect our way of life are always, it seems, being decided by the courts. For instance the ruling throwing out the man/woman marriage tradition that has been a part of our history for centuries was done by the courts. As well, was the abortion ruling under the guise of “privacy” because it may have never passed a vote referendum taken across the Country. Why won’t the Government in Canada ever allow a vote on the “Death penalty”? Because the Liberal minds feel that it is too important an issue to leave to the private citizen. Why did the Provincial Liberals throw out the rule set in place by the Conservatives limiting tax increases and living within the budget? Right! Because they felt they knew better and totally disregarded the people’s wishes. I think these brilliant minds who sit atop their Ivory Towers better start realizing that they can’t continue to disregard the individual citizen because sooner or later these citizens will rise up and say “We’ve had enough! It has already happened once in Canada, the United States, Mexico, Cuba, Russia and now the people of Iran are flexing their muscles in an attempt to get out from under a repressive regime. I’m not suggesting that we are in the same state as Iran but the circumstances regarding the Government dictating to their citizens without due process is the point. Here come da judge here…. come da judge.
