I, on the other hand, see years of liberal pet projects getting absolutely nowhere (even when the donkeys were in control of both the White House and Congress) so they have used a liberal and anti-American judiciary to get through policies and laws that attack the crux of what America is. If given the choice between a strong executive and a judiciary run amok, I'll take the executive any time because they can be voted out. Your Breyers and Ginzburgs are there for life, and that scares the crap out of me. O.K., A.J., let’s put it all out on the table: You see the executive as end-running for a power grab.

"Those who give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither" - Benjamin Franklin. Would you rather have power in the hands of the people you elect, such as Congress, who represent the people - or total power given to the executive branch (the President) without oversight? All three branches of government are equal. It's called checks and balances. Things aren't always going to go your way, no matter what side you're on. But in the last 200 years I think we've done a great job of keeping the balance that is dangerously close to coming to an end.

For instance, wouldn't it be nice if Breyer's city council or county commission decided his property would be better used by some private company as a mall? Or if Bader Ginzberg had to live by several rapists that roam freely because of some of her decisions? Or better yet, Bader Ginzberg could not go to an A.C.L.U. meeting because it was determined that it was in fact a religious institution, and all religious institutions had been banned as being "mean-spirited" and against the separation theory of the Constitution because tolerating such infects public discourse? Those yoyos aren't on a slppery slope with their decisions, they're blasting out of a 28ga shotgun full of birdshot, and couldn't agree with the premises of the Constitution if their lives depended on it. Unfortunately, it is my children and their children who will pay for their communism.
