Speaking of Independence Day....
...“A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 33%
of Likely U.S. Voters now believe that states should have the right to
ignore federal court rulings if their elected officials [dis]agree with
them. That’s up nine points from 24% when we first asked this question in February. Just over half (52%) disagree, down from 58% in the earlier survey. Fifteen percent (15%) are undecided.”...
Just a bunch of Radical Jeffersonians, ya'know.
...Jefferson also pointed out,
correctly, that “Our judges are as honest as other men and not more so.
They have with others the same passions for party, for power, and the
privilege of their corps.” …Judicial review is “a very dangerous
doctrine indeed,” Jefferson warned in 1820, “and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy.”...
Huh. Who could have guessed? Oh, yah: Scalia.
