Proof that Rand is no lover of the Constitution:

Perhaps he can ask his dad how it should work.[:I]
Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

    The courts have had the power to interpret the Constitutionality of laws from almost the very beginning.

    Not sure what the gripe is.

    Interpretation from the bench is one thing, legislating from the bench is another.

    He specifically said he didn't want judges writing laws.

    I didn't see anything in his comments that deviates from standard American legal theory since Marbury vs Madison.

    Hyperbole alert! One can measure but not judge? or Justice is blind and, at times, deaf. Maybe the judge can read instead! [:o)]

    The union is always ran by the highest interpretation of manipulation. The temple and the palace will be one again is the question? King of kings and Lord of lords is the answer!

    I watched that speech Rand gave. I recommend you do as well. If a law is unconstitutional Rand is saying the court should strike it down.

    Not sure why this is a bad thing?

    "I am a judicial activist."

    You are not going to fight the enemy by playing nice. The left cheats and lies. I dot think we should cheat and lie but we need to be willing to think outside the box and be willing to stick it to them anyway we can.

    I believe he was talking with Mark Levin when I heard him discuss his brand of Judicial Activism.

    I agree with his approach that the striking down of unconstitutional law is preferable to Holmes' view of a pure democratic approach to the unwriting of the Constitution.



    'Paul summarized Robert's argument as: We have to presume the majority is correct and the law is constitutional until proven otherwise. The senator said Roberts was citing former Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes credo, "We should not get in the way of the majority."

    The senator's counter to that was, "What happens when the legislature does bad things?"

    "Maybe we should start out with a presumption of liberty," meaning, maybe it should be presumed people should be free from the government enacting coercive laws, such as requiring all Americans to purchase health-care insurance.'
    Freedom and a submissive populace cannot co-exist.
