Justice Denied by Out-of-Control Judges Who Play God!

Judge Joseph Laplante

Another unelected federal judge has elevated himself to emperor of the United States. Judge Joseph Laplante recently overruled the Supreme Court Decision on birthright citizenship applying it to the whole country. We've seen this before but Laplante seems to be in a category by himself. It's not the first time his judicial arrogance manifested in a decision, but by this one he effectively gave the middle finger salute to SCOTUS!

The decision by the Supreme Court is somewhat ambiguous and the issue over birthright citizenship is still an open question. Nevertheless, Laplante's action was arrogant.

The article below is fascinating because, in addition to some brief comments by Fr. MacRae, the "author" was an AI generated response to a question:

Uh...Do Judges Think They're God

Judge Wants to Edit 10 Commandments


In view of some decisions made by judges, we've suspected that they had an identity problem, i.e.,  thinking they are God. But now we have evidence. Perhaps the problem is that most judges start out as lawyers. Maybe it's time to raise to the bench people of good old common sense which seems pretty rare among lawyers. (Well, I do know a few good ones.) Is it any wonder there are so many lawyer jokes? Here's one for you:

Question: What's wrong with lawyer jokes?
Answer: Lawyers don't think they're funny and other people don't think they're jokes.

And a comment attributed to Sandra Day O'Connor: "There's no shortage of lawyers in D.C. In fact there may be more lawyers than people."
