First Supreme Lesbo

[ham]

When Kagan was dean of Harvard Law School, she presented a guest speaker who is known as the most activist judge in the world: Judge Aharon Barak, formerly president of the Israeli Supreme Court. The polar opposite of the U.S. Constitution, which states that "all legislative powers" are vested in the elected legislative body, Barak has written that a judge should "make" and "create" law, assume "a role in the legislative process," and give statutes "new meaning that suits new social needs."

Well, that is what lord Patrick Devlin said as well.
The idea that the justice system serves some higher, solomonic, impersonal norm and not the socio-economic fads of the moment is false.



Jefferson, Madison, Washington: all slaveholders...if they were here today, they'd probably rot in jail for hate crimes, being sodomized by inmates of color.

The contradiction between freedom and slavery also existed in some
of the statesman who designed the United States republic. George
Washington, “founding father,” Thomas Jefferson, “the architect of
democracy,” and James Madison, “father of the United States
Constitution and its first ten amendments, the Bill of Rights,” were
slaveholding aristocrats. In fact, Peter Kolchin maintains in his book,
American Slavery 1619-1877, “eight of the United States' first
twelve Presidents in office for forty-nine of the new nation's first
sixty-one years, were slaveholders.” Some of those presidents,
including Jefferson, Washington and Madison, were born into the
slaveholding aristocracy of Virginia
