	Molly  +  42581 Tue, 17 Aug 04 12:08 PM It's not only an American problem. I guess that when someone has enough money, he/she can hire the best posible attorney there is. He will find a way through all those laws to clear the problem and set him/her free. Nobody will ask if he/she was guilty (exept the victims) Molly Joined on Sun, Jul 11 2004 Full Member 166

	Onesimus  +  43062 Mon, 23 Aug 04 05:50 AM I think society has ceded legislative tasks to activist judges. Rather than refering to the constitution as a historical document and interpreting what the framers had meant, current judges often use the 'living document' method to interpret the constitution. Meaning that the constitution is interpreted now in light of the present-day cultural norms or the particular bias of the judge(s). So we now have judge-made law usurping legislation. Legislation that was supposed to represent the will of the people for the greater public good. Onesimus Joined on Sat, Aug 14 2004 Midwest USA New Member 25 Onesimus
