Courts are troubling

Good review of the length to which our courts are usurping power from the other two branches of government.

What hits you most deeply? Odds are it's something the courts have done that affects your daily life or your beliefs. Other than the war, the issues that are Balkanizing America are those that the courts have decided to decide, usually without Constitutional imprimatur and in contravention of long-standing precedent. So what's your poisonous penumbra? Roe v. Wade? Gay marriage? The anti-constitutional hijacking of the President's powers as commander in chief? How about Sandra Day O'Connor and Anthony Kennedy importing European law to decide American constitutional issues? For House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, the breaking point was Terri Schiavo.
