Judicial Accountability and Reform

Judges must rule by the Constitution, not by judge-made law or political agenda. If they fail to do so we will call on the Governor to ignore that decision just as President Lincoln ignored Dread Scott. We will also mandate the legislature to impeach said judges.

The founders designed the Judiciary to be the weakest of the three branches. The Courts were to make no law. Hamilton describes them as the least dangerous. That would be of course if they functioned as intended by our founders in the Constitution.

But today, the Court has evolved to the strongest and most dangerous branch. The Court has like wax molded the Constitution to suit its own political agenda usurping Executive, Legislative and worst of all State powers as Jefferson predicted.

Hamilton wrote the Court was not to “substitute its will for judgment.” It was never the intent of our founders to make the judiciary the final arbiter. They were just one of three branches, all of which could render its own opinion in determining constitutionality. The legislature and executive branches could consult and include that opinion if they deemed it appropriate. But the judiciary was to have neither force nor will. They were totally dependent on the executive branch for enforcement and the executive branch could ignore that opinion just as Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln all had done.
