The power of the judicial has grown since 1789, and has undermined the founding principles of the Republic. It must be curbed.
GOALS
- Term limits on all federal judges, including the Supreme Court.
- The term shall be six years. No more than two terms may be served, and no two of them shall be consecutive.
- There shall be no more “case law”.
- There shall be no argument from “precedent”, but only from the Constitution, and from laws written properly thereunder.
- There shall be no citing of foreign law.
- Treaties of the US Government shall not supercede the US Constitution.
- Judges shall not “legislate from the bench”, and shall be removed immediately upon doing so.
- Where no law exists to right a wrong, no judge shall create one by his or her ruling. Rather, the judge shall cite the absence of such law, with regret, and declare him or herself unable to remedy the situation. It is a legislative matter. Judges may recommend legislation to the Congress.
- Judges may recommend laws to Congress, but such recommendation has zero legal effect, just as does the recommendation of any citizen.
