Forty Six: Will The Chief Justive Step Up?

Conventional civics curriculum teaches that the U.S. has three branches of government - the executive, legislative, and judicial. But practical experience actually shows us there is a fourth - the vast and sprawling and ever-increasing federal bureaucracy. The executive and legislative are now firmly in Democratic control, and the bureaucracy has always been, and will always be, a Democratic bastion. This leaves the judicial branch, which while leaning heavily Democratic in most lower courts, has a slight Republican edge with the Supremes. The question before the country now is, will Chief Justice Roberts accept the mantle and step up to assert his constitutional responsibility to be a moderating influence on the almost unfettered power of liberal Democrats?

The Barney Franks, and Christopher Dodds, and Harry Reids, and Charlie Rangels will work Barack Obama like a hand puppet. Government expansion in the next four or eight years will make the housing bubble look like minor pimple. Private capital will be sucked out of the economy and into government, and then distributed in the most inefficient ways possible to the individuals least likely to reinvest that capital in productive activities.

Mr. Chief Justice, will you do your duty?
