Judicial Activism
Offsite
Another judge in Massachusetts has ruled against parental input regarding the education of their own children, this time deciding that a district’s special education program for a 13-year-old can move forward even though his parents refused to sign an authorization for the additional monitoring and counseling.

Judges gone wild
Judicial Activism
Offsite
In our modern, post-Christian, post-monarchy, post-Enlightenment, post-rational society, the closest thing our humanist culture has to a “god” is the judge. In 1907, Chief Justice Charles Evan Hughes famously remarked: “We are under a Constitution, but the Constitution is what the judge says it is.” Case closed! This inimical judicial philosophy was enshrined early in American constitutional law by that controversial Supreme Court decision authored by Chief Justice John Marshall, Marbury v. Madison (1803).

How the Failures of Welfare Reform Created Our Lawless Courts (Part I)
Judicial Activism
Terri Lynn Tersak
Despite the best of intentions, the programs developed within our “Welfare Reform” of the 1990’s served as the major funding sources used by the states to promote single-parent families. This resulted in the decay of the cornerstone of our society, marriage and intact, functioning family.

Courts gone wild
Judicial Activism
Offsite
I was quite properly rapped last week by a dozen or more readers for observing that the separation of church and state is “embedded” in the United States Constitution. I now discover it was “read into” the Constitution by the Supreme Court in 1947, creating the mythology that the Constitution’s original framers put it there.

It Depends on the Meaning of ‘Rape’
Judicial Activism
Doug Patton
From the files of the “inmates-are-running-the-asylum” department comes a straightforward, easy to understand example of what is wrong with the American justice system. Tory Bowen, a 24-year-old Lincoln, Nebraska, woman, has alleged that Pamir Safi, a 33-year-old Army reservist, raped her. Of course, Safi alleges that what occurred between the two was, in fact, consensual sex. Considering his tortured ruling, the judge in the case apparently agrees, even before any testimony is given.

Commutation Sets Stage for Libby’s Exoneration
Judicial Activism
Roger Aronoff
President Bush’s commutation of Lewis Libby’s prison term was the right thing to do because it enables Libby to continue to fight in the courts for total exoneration. Libby was the victim of an over-zealous prosecutor and media and a jury which was prejudiced against him by pre-trial publicity. He deserves not only to be free from prison but to be declared an honest man and dedicated public servant who did his duty as chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney.

Hopping Harry and the Supreme Skirts
Judicial Activism
Bruce Walker
Harry Reid is hopping mad. He has publicly stated, more than once, that “I am pro-life.” He voted to ban partial birth abortion, that most offensive and hideous type of abortion (prenatal infanticide.) The bill to ban partial birth abortion that he voted for passed Congress. The President signed it into law.

The Supreme Court’s Bad Science and Bad Decision
Judicial Activism
Alan Caruba
In March of 1857, in the famed Dred Scott decision, the United States Supreme Court declared that all blacks, slaves as well as free, were not and could never become citizens of the United States. It also declared that the 1820 Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional, thus permitting slavery in all territories and future, new States. By 1861 the United States was fighting a Civil War.

According to our Constitution the judicial power of the United States shall be vested in one Supreme Court and in lower courts as established by Congress.
Judicial Tyrants
Judicial Activism
John D. Diamond
Throughout world history, every nation has gone through a period in which its leaders began to exercise unjust and even illegal power over its subjects. This action is defined as tyranny. The American Republic was created because our Founding Fathers, after years of appeals to the British crown, refused to live any longer under the unjust control of its tyrannical King and judges.
