| ACTIVIST JUDGES |
| Thursday, January 06, 2005 |
I have heard more "conservative" talk show hosts lauding the decision of New York judge to restrict a drug addicted woman from having anymore children until she can support the seven she already has.
On the surface this sounds like a good idea and something that should rightfully take place; however, if one were to just think for 2.5 seconds they will realize that this is a breach in our form of government once again.
Our Constitution expressly forbids our Judicial Branch (our judges) from making any new laws. That is the function of Congress.
Once again we have an activist judge who circumvents the Constitution of the United States to create new law. So much for the seperation of powers...and shame on "conservatives" for not recognizing the difference.

I'll tell you why conservatives didn't go up in arms about that decision:
"judicial activism" means "I didn't agree with those judges".
In this case, they did agree, so it wasn't "activism". ;-)

Yep, you're right, Lefty! A true conservative would be up in arms though...
Ye shall know them by their fruit!

We're all opportunists at heart! The conservatives are just better at coining the right phrases. I think the Dems need to hire some better marketing people...

"Snipet" (pronounced: snipe - it) is not a word.It is a derivative of two words: "Snipe" and "Snippet".
Miriam Webster defines Snipe as: to aim a carping or snide attack, or: to shoot at exposed individuals (as of an enemy's forces) from a usually concealed point of vantage.
Miriam Webster defines Snippet as: : a small part, piece, or thing; especially : a brief quotable passage.
In short, "Snipets" are brief, snide shots at exposed situations from a concealed vantage point.
WARNING! With due reverence to the Bill of Rights and the First Amendment there is NO comment policy on the News Snipet.
