Univ. of Virgina Student, Allan Cruickshanks, Reflects On Supreme Court: Wow, Go UVA!!
UVA student Allan Cruickshanks says this: THERE is a recent trend in the United States of federal judges more and more often abandoning their proper roles and allowing personal beliefs to interfere and influence rulings in the absence of a clear and established legislative precedent. . .
The purpose of the United States judiciary system is to apply and interpret the laws set by the Congress to varying situations. Its purpose is not, however, to invent new law in the absence of absolutely clear and specific legislative mandates or to expand those mandates well beyond what they actually say. . . There's more here.
This was refreshing to read.
Judicial activism is destroying the advantages of our republic. Perhaps in this next generation, with guys Allan around, it will end.
The student newspaper at the Univ. of Virginia is called The Cavalier Daily.
