Fake Law

[Common]

This is a fabulous artical exposing the activist Judiciary that breaks all the rules.

Something ugly is happening to the First Amendment. It is being contorted to enable judges to protest Donald Trump's presidency. The perennial impulse of judges to manipulate the law to achieve morally and politically desirable ends has only been exacerbated by the felt necessity to "resist" Trump. The result: Legal tests concerning the freedoms of speech and religion that in some cases were already highly dubious are being further deformed and twisted.

Welcome to the rise of fake law. Just as fake news spreads ideologically motivated misinformation with a newsy veneer, fake law brings us judicial posturing, virtue signaling, and opinionating masquerading as jurisprudence. And just as fake news augurs the end of authoritative reporting, fake law portends the diminution of law's legitimacy and the warping of judges' self-understanding of their constitutional role.
Those who try to police the relentlessly transformational projects of constitutional progressives had much to dread from the Obama administration, an inveterate ally of the legal left that did what it could to graft the aspirations of progressives onto the Constitution. But Trump's presidency may be even worse, because too many judges now feel called to "resist" Trump and all his works—no matter the cost to the law's authority and to the integrity of the judicial role.

[Standing Wolf]

A Trump supporter who begins with the premise that all court rulings that displease, inconvenience or embarrass the focus of their adulation are the result of judicial bias or "fake law" resembles nothing so much as a religionist who starts out with a concept of their deity's creative process, and then points out random, usually minor or misleading "scientific" facts or questions in support of his preconceived worldview. Unless and until you have read the rulings in their entirety and educated yourself about the law to the degree necessary to make an informed and intelligent judgment of them, your cheerleading is pointless and irrelevant.
