JUDICIAL ACTIVISM, PLEDGE |
For 25 of more years the other side has had a monopoly on word games and no
one has called them on it, effectively challenged them on it. They have
managed to turn liberal into a bad word, even moderate has been made
suspicious. Managed to make Democrat a bad word. Managed to turn equal
rights for a minority group into gay rights or special rights. Those are
just a few examples.
Now they are doing the same thing with the courts. They are using words
again to mislead, misrepresent and lie.
Make no mistake about it, judicial activism means any court ruling they do
not like. It has absolutely no other meaning and it appears once more that
no one has the balls to call them on it and keep calling them on it until
that fact finally cancels their dishonest word playing.
Case in point. Last night on Lou Dobbs I heard, either Dobbs or one of his
talking heads use judicial activism in reference to the District Court
pledge ruling. Dobbs also tossed the usual ***** zinger at the 9th
Circuit as he ended that segment of his show by saying the 9th Circuit, the
most liberal Circuit in the country and also the most overturned Circuit
on the country.
I never realized Dobs was a talking head for the right, he should be on Fox
instead of CNN or maybe CNN is in their pocket as well.
Another example:

But it had immediate emotional impact. "This is an extraordinary and
blatant display of judicial activism," Kay Daly, president of the Coalition
for a Fair Judiciary, said in a statement issued here.
The American Center for Law and Justice had a similar reaction. "The pledge
clearly acknowledges the fact that our freedoms in this country come from
God, not government, and we're hopeful this flawed decision will ultimately
be rejected," said Jay Sekulow, the organization's chief counsel.
The fact of the mater is the original 9th Circuit ruling is the correct
ruling. Absolutely no Judges or ruling handed down since then has honestly
and in detail refuted that ruling, not even the recent 4th Circuit ruling
upholding the pledge in schools

.. . . You can't understand a phrase such as "Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of religion" by syllogistic reasoning. Words
take their meaning from social as well as textual contexts, which is why "a
page of history is worth a volume of logic." New York Trust Co. v. Eisner,
256 U.S. 345, 349, 41 S.Ct. 506, 507, 65 L.Ed. 963 (1921) (Holmes, J.).
