SAVE US FROM CONGRESSIONAL&EXEC ACTIVISTS

GET THE FACTS BEHIND THE NEWS. Ex-Pres George Bush. Chief Justice Roberts, and many congressional republican leaders are always talking against Judicial activism(legislating from the bench).

Maybe they should look in the mirror. If they do they will see much greater activism from the Congress and the Executive branches than the Judicial. They are legislating in areas usually considered outside the political realm. Politics, business, and economics are different fields. Congress and the executive are entering and making decisions in business and economic areas that they are not qualified for. CROSS YOUR FINGERS. Suggestion--perhaps placing the “peoples” organizations in some form of independent authority would be best.

Let’s see a few examples.

Should the executive be owning and financing large co’s,ie General Moters, AIG Insurance etc? Does the gov’t have the expertise to do this or if the gov’t only lends money than the same people who managed to get these companies into their present troubles are left to get them out of their troubles.

Should the Congress be deciding how many and which auto dealers should be kept? Does this mean that Congress will also decide what manufacturing facilities are kept and where new ones are built. The basis of their decisions resting on political clout similar to closing military bases? If so the outlook for the “people’s business” is very dim. We can end up like the “old communists” situation, where large organizations with many workers are managed politically so they are economically inefficient and can not compete in the marketplace. These inefficient large organizations will require constant capital which will be given to them and justified due to the large number of workers employed.

Speaking of closing military bases, why not have a military establishment suited to present military conditions. Most of the Indians are no longer physically on the war path. Obsolete bases should be closed and cold war weaponry discontinued. Good luck to Secretary Gates.

Lastly abortions should be left to Doctors and patients not to gov’t legislative bodies. Perhaps Supreme Court designate Ms. Sotomayor is right. More later.
