Re: re: FISA 'modernization" bill - head's up! said by fatness:said by manfmmd:I would agree with you, except for, for the past 20 years, people on both sides of the aisle have been complaining about the actions of "judges" because of their 'political' ties back to an administration. I don't have a solution for this, but as long as judges are political appointees, we will have a problem ( as we do with the abortion debate). said by manfmmd:It doesn't matter who elevated them or who appointed them. It is clear, since the beginning of record keeping, that judicial decisions are based on interpretation, which is based on political leanings. Why don't you stop injecting these god damn red herrings into this thread. OK? I would if it wasn't pertinent to the discussion. EVERYONE knows that judges are political appointees. And since there are people that wish to hang their trust on "judges", I was just reminding them. | |

Ah, you're starting to get it  Putting one's head in the sand and ignoring the fact that those comprising the leadership of any branch of government are politicians who want more power and fewer eyes on them only opens the door for those of which you speak.
Politicians inhabit all three branches of the government, and having any one of the branches subject to scrutiny by the other two greatly reduces the opportunity for mischief.
Maybe some would blindly trust Pelosi, Obama. Romney, Giulani, Edwards, "conservative" or "liberal" judges or any other possible future leader - right, center or left - to not abuse power or privilege, but I don't, and your above statement indicates you're starting to realize what we're talking about.
