My guess is liberal leaning pundits who rail against conservative judges, will at the same time applaud and rejoice at liberal activism on the US Supreme Court if BO gets his way and has more picks. General Rule – whoever is in charge makes the rules. That is why life, law and politics tend to be cyclical.

Michigan courts and lawyers will be reeling for years from the damage done to fundamental justice by the Taylor-led Gang of Four. Perhaps the court can now select cases to decide that will effectively grant us a do-over of the last few years. Meantime, let’s find a better way of getting judges than by elections funded by entities with an interest in the outcome of cases before the courts.

Now I’m no lawyer but Michigan has only been a state since 1837 (about 172 years) so 1,455 years of legal precedent is pushing it. But given the article was written by someone who has contributed to the Democrats nominees to the Supreme Court in the past we shouldn’t be surprised by the blatant bias.

Stare decisis is not mandated by the Constitution and it can lead to unconstitutional results.

Maybe Michigan can rejoin civilized mainstream jurisprudence. Time will tell but it has to get better.
