Debunking the Right's attack on the Judiciary

The will of the majority is not necessarily "just". That is why there is a Judical Branch, to ensure the Rule of Constitutional Law. The ideolouges of the Right are proposing changes to laws designed to fundamentally alter the checks and balances system we learned in school.
-DeLay & Co want to use Congress' authority to deny the Courts the power to hear certain types of cases. Ten Commandments, partial birth abortions, any abortions... By using the legislature, the majority and the moneyed would be able to dictate what is just, as well as free themselves from accountability.
-International law. Many judges , including those appointed by Republicans have cited foriegn cases and international standards. Harld anyone in advocating that American judges MUST follow foreign judicial rulings. But only that American judges CAN be inspired by foreign judges, and mention their ideas in our rulings. This dogma of the Right that judges must only follow American constitutional history smacks of their ignorance.
