Ric Steinberger: We were a better country because of it!

It's also a bit breathtaking to see the sheer amount of power the Republican judiciary has arrogated to itself this term, all without a single act of Congress

Deciding what's an "official act"? SCOTUS decides Deciding what a statute means if Congress doesn't over-specify? SCOTUS decides Deciding that specific statutes of limitations provided by Congress don't apply? SCOTUS decides

What ethics rules apply to justices? SCOTUS decides What Congressional oversight applies to justices? SCOTUS decides The list goes on, and on, and on

We get to live under our one federal monarch, aided by his 9 earls or dukes or whatevertf mini-monarchs used to be called in the Dark Ages

I'm old enough to remember when it was the libs who were the judicial activists

We were a better country because of it!
