Forum Overview :: Motherfucking News :: Re: You are aware of a branch of government called the 'Judicial', are you not?

[quote name="Damocles"][quote name="Lizard_King"][quote name="Anonymous fruitcake"][quote name="Faggot McQueen"]Legislation via lawsuits makes me sick.[/quote] Like the lackwit conservative parrot that you are, you forgot that its their SOLE FUNCTION to TEST LAWS via LITIGATION. Litigation != legislation, in and of itself, EVAR. Only that that the court's actions might set a framework of legal precedent from which legislation might be drawn or honed. Its the court's fucking job to throw out every lopsided piece of shit self-important asswipes like yourself keep running though legislative bodies. But like the President said, "I'm not aware of any branch of government that <i>interprets</i> laws", right? Fume away. [/quote] My reference to legislation via lawsuits, rather than being directed at the judicial branch as someone with obviously minimal reading skills like yourself might have thought, was clearly directed at the trial lawyers of America, inc. I don't think their wanton use of massive class action lawsuits to create de facto laws that would not otherwise pass (see smoking, guns, small airplane litigation etc) have any place in a republic such as ours, where it is the elected legislature that is supposed to create laws. Is that clear enough for you, asshole?[/quote] Trial lawyers do a job. That job exists because the Constitution says the judicial branch gets to interpret the laws, and you need lawyers to argue the different sides of the case... hence the reason they're called <b>advocates</b>. Precedent does not make for "de facto laws"; it's part of the common law system that is older than the United States themselves, or the colonies for that matter. Wanking on about OMGSOEVIL trial lawyers only shows that you don't know shit how your country works. Is <b>that</b> clear enough for you, <i>asshole</i>? [/quote]
