« Andrew Sullivan: Defining Conservatism Down
Where’s the Democratic Foreign Policy? »

A Bone From the Judiciary

26 Oct 2006 by Mr. Roach

Ace of Spades makes a great point on the imperiousness of the New Jersey Supreme Court:

This gets at me: Do we live in a democracy or not?

Apparently not.

An undemocratic branch of government, without direct and true accountability to the people they are now de facto governing, shall have the right to set any and all pubic policy.

But there’s still room for We, The People to play our part, too.

We get to choose a name for the policy decided for us by our judicial betters.

That’s something, right? It’s not as if they’re taking all democratic power from the people. We get to pick out names and stuff.

Like children. Which we increasingly are, thanks to the paternalistic, infantilizing, power-grabbing courts.
