The Proper Role of a Supreme Court Justice

Justice Anthony Kennedy’s announcement that he will retire after more than 30 years on the Supreme Court ignited a predictable firestorm of controversy. Grassroots activists and senators immediately began trying to influence the president’s nomination and the nominee’s prospects for Senate approval.

The debate about President Trump’s nominee to replace Kennedy is a debate about judicial power. It’s about what we believe judges are supposed to do as part of our system of government.

America’s Founders designed our system, including the judiciary’s role, to maximize our liberty. Liberals today reject that design, preferring a judiciary so powerful that it can remake the Constitution, refashion our rights and reconfigure our country.

The far left will oppose anyone Trump nominates. In fact, less than two hours after news of Kennedy’s retirement circulated, Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, D-New York, took to the Senate floor to say that he will oppose anyone on the list that the president says he will use for his choice.

The left-wing quarterback will be the Alliance for Justice (AFJ), which has already issued a call-to-arms that will guide its activities and messaging in the coming weeks: “The future of health care, the environment, women’s rights, workers’ rights, LGBTQ rights, racial equality and more is literally on the line as President Trump ponders Justice Kennedy’s successor.” read more here: http://www.insidesources.com/proper-role-supreme-court-justice/
