The Fallacy of Activist judges
So Stephen Harper ( the americain governor of Canada) rules like Bush, he also believes that it is not enough for politicians to write the laws, they must also their interpreter, that they are more impartial and judicious than…JUDGES. Harper, like Bush, references to our Supreme Court Justices as judicial activists. This shows a fundamental misunderstanding of any legal system (and I think Harper not that dumb. Bush…maybe) or a contempt for the will of the people. Why you say this? The parliamentarians are elected by the people (hahaha …) so are they not the ultimate voice of the people…yes and no. Our legal system is set up to ensure the laws past are the TRUE will of the people and not a current whim, a misunderstand or the direct manipulation of those in temporary power (I hope this last is true for the conservatives, emphasis on temporary), this means once laws are past they are interpreted by the professionals, the judges. If they will of the people changes, then the laws are changed, and they judges will then respond by interpreting the laws
