Inappropriate Judicial Activism

Hurricane Micheal is relentless bearing down on Florida's Panhandle. A weather disaster is about to happen. The Washington Times reports: "Fla. Dems sue to extend voter registration period as hurricane approaches". Sounds reasonable on the surface considering the disruptions that hurricanes can create. But it is not.

The role of the court system is to interpret the law, not to modify it. It is up to the Florida State Legislature and the Governor to establish the voter registration period. Considering the adverse effects of the hurricane to disrupt the voting process, the Florida State Legislature and the Governor need to have an emergency session to extend the voting registration period. It is unknown if a Florida court has or has not acted to extend the voter registration period. Judicial activism needs to be extinguished.

Update 10/11/2018: According to CBS news: "Judge rejects Florida voter registration extension - A federal judge rejected a push to extend Florida's voter registration deadline because of Hurricane Michael, saying there's "no justification" to do so. U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle ruled late Wednesday against the Florida Democratic Party, which called the Republican-led response to the storm's disruption confusing and inadequate."

 

Kavanaugh - US Supreme Court Nomination, Ford's Baseless Accusations - Follow the Money

The Washington Times recently published the following story: "George Soros-funded network drives anti-Kavanaugh activism". In reading that story it occurred to me that the Democratic Party has numerous resources available to it, such as contributors, money, private investigators, lawyers, etc. These resources could have been put to use by the Democratic Party to find "dirt" on Kavanaugh. Given the significance of the Kavanaugh nomination and the wild cacophony of the Democrats, it would seem to be a no-brainer that all these available resources would have been put to use.  Whether they actually were or were not put to use is not known by by me. Nevertheless, the logical assumption would be that the Democrats would have put these resources to use and were unable to find any "dirt" that would otherwise corroborated Ford's (false) accusations. Since the Democrats were unable to find "dirt" it would appear that Ford's allegations were false. (Of-course the absence of corroborating data does not mean that there couldn't be some proof somewhere.)

Moreover, the Democrats have whined and howled in indignation that the FBI and/or Senate Judiciary Committee investigations were incomplete. Do not be fooled. Soros and the Democrats, as explained above, had the time and resources to find the supposed "dirt" on their own, if any existed. They failed.

Since posting, another thought came to mind. This post focused on the Democrats inability to find supposed corroborating evidence that would add legitimacy to Ford's unsupported accusations even though they had that capability. Since this kerfuffle exploded onto the national stage, the media has also become involved in investigating the legitimacy to Ford's unsupported accusations. So far, to my knowledge, they have also not uncovered any new "dirt". Given the media's extensive capabilities in digging up "dirt" and their inability to do so, this would add further credence that Ford's allegations lacked substance.
