'Judicial Tyranny' = Democracy
"Attorney General-designate John Ashcroft complained in a 1997 lecture of "judicial tyranny" by judges who ruled in favor of school desegregation, the right to an abortion and affirmative action."

"Best exemplified by the Southern Manifesto, additional arguments against Brown revolved around the Court’s disregard for states’ rights and the judicial tyranny it
exerted." (Brown v. Board of Education)

Sometimes you have to say "Who cares what the Majority wants!"

If 51% of this country wanted to ban Interracial Marriage, should a ban happen?

NO!

America's Democratic Republic should care what EVERYBODY wants, not
just as soon as we take a vote and the 51% gets what they want.

If the Far Right takes 'judicial tyranny' away, then they have successfully caused a coup in this country.

God bless the Judicial Activists that the RW'ers hate, they make Democracy possible.
