Karlton The Super-Judge

California State Sen. Bill Morrow just issued an e-newsletter titled "Let's just rule everything unconstitutional and call it a day." It's worth a read.

An excerpt:

No, the bigger problem does not concern "Separation of Church and State." It concerns "Separation of Powers." The courts refuse to honor the constitutionally mandated Separation of Powers that protects citizens from too-centralized, too-powerful government.

I believe that Judge John Roberts said it best in his opening statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee during his confirmation process earlier this week. When asked what role he thought judges play, Judge Roberts said, "Judges are like umpires. Umpires don't make the rules, they apply them. The role of an umpire and a judge is critical. They make sure everybody plays by the rules. But it is a limited role. Nobody ever went to a ballgame to see the umpire ...And I will remember that it's my job to call balls and strikes, and not to pitch or bat."

Unfortunately, on September 14th, Judge Karlton was pitching, catching, batting ...AND calling the balls and strikes. He was even seen in the stands selling peanuts.
