One thing the current nominee has in her favor is that she ruled against Maurice Clarrett... while I disagreed with her ruling... I'm guessing she did too as she went with the players union during the MLB strike. There is nothing better in a written opinion then... "While I believe that.... the law clearly states...." |
The sad thing is that you're probably right, and judges are using their power to "create" laws through questionable ruling on issues that are politically impossible to deal with ...
The two primary checks against the legislative branch becoming too corrupt are that they are bound by the constitution (which is protected by the supreme court) and they have to answer to their voters. When your judiciary “Gets into bed” with your legislative branch to pass laws that don’t need the approval of the electorate you’re no longer living in a constitutional democracy.
