Bea-u-tiful op/ed piece in the WSJ today that is a worthy read for anyone regardless of political affiliation. It helps decipher the modern day, politically charged arena that we call the justice system and how it got to be this way. Prof. Barnett sums it up beautifully right here:
"...So judicial activism means thwarting the "will of the people" when critics agree with the people, while they complain about the "tyranny of the majority" when they disagree."
The whole article is great, especially what he recommends to remedy the situation. Education. Constitutional literacy about the clauses and the nominee's interpretation.
We can dream can't we?
