The Court

I've been worried about what I see as the increasing political activism on the US supreme court. It was topped off by justifying a ban on juvenile death sentences based on other countries' laws.

Now here what Justice Scalia has to say.

I agree. I think we look to the court to legislate things in our favor, we whine, and then look to them as mommy and daddy, instead of saying "hey, the constitution doesn't really talk about this. It wasn't in the framers' scope. Let's convince our fellow citizens, put it on a ballot, and pass a law." That's the way it should be done.
