Texians,

It has long been held that liberals use the courts to achieve what they can not through legislation. Today there are two flagrant cases of this happening. In the first, a federal judge has ordered (get that-ORDERED) the Treasury department to change the whole monetary system of the united States.Judge Orders Treasury Concerning Money . To me that sounds pompous. The next thing you know, some judge will order the money be printed in other languages so that people can read it. Consider that on the new dollar coin, the word dollar has been removed and replaced with "$1".

The other case of judicial activism concerns the supreme court.
Supremes to hear global warming case In this case, some of the "green" states are suing in order to ‘force’ the government to monitor exhaust emissions on new cars. It seems that the powers that be in the green states did not like the laws passed in Congress, so now they are using the courts to try to FORCE change upon the populous. This one has some potential fallout for each of us.

I would make a joke about how the ‘hired hands’ are up to something, but these guys were never hired. The foxes are running the legal chicken coup. The antics of such judges and plaintiffs in these cases is laughable. Sadly they take themselves seriously. They are so out of touch with the common man, they view themselves as minor deities similar to the Senators of Rome in former days.

What has government done for you today? -Changed our money and may soon change our cars.
