It is beginning to appear that we no longer need the Executive and Legislative branches of government --

Here is an excerpt from an article in today’s Epoch Times.

A California district judge granted partial relief to some of the federal government’s recently terminated probationary employees who argued that their termination from various agencies was unlawfully ordered by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) under the false cause of performance. Senior District Judge William Alsup provided partial relief on Feb. 27 to the non-union organizational employees, ordering their immediate reinstatement to agencies including the National Parks Service, every agency within the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Bureau of Land Management, and the Small Business Bureau. He also ordered that OPM’s request be stopped and rescinded, because of the possibility of more federal employees being let go under the request.

This is, to me at least, a typical and all too frequent example of judges, high and low, taking on the role of shaping our laws to fit their own political leanings. It seems foolish and dangerous when a local judge can overrule executive and legislative decisions without regard to the Constitution. It all started with Roe v. Wade when the Supreme Court found that abortion was a constitutional right under a never-before-discovered, invisible clause. One of the Justices used the terms "penumbra" and "emanations" to describe how the right to privacy was derived from other rights in the Bill of Rights. Using that standard, there seems to be no limit to what the courts can order or deny.

Are we becoming a nation ruled by unelected (for the most part) men in robes seated above the common citizens?
