THE CONSERVATIVE VIEW
BY RUSSELL TURNER
GOOD BUSINESS PRINCIPLES
I have found that having a set of rules and guidelines is essential to operating a successful business. Companies that own and operate stores in several locations train their managers in the policies that make their business attractive to the consumer. The parent company expects the manager to learn their policies and to adhere to them. If, for example, one of the managers makes a habit of defying the company policy and creates a problem the company will dispatch another manager to that store and the current manager will have to get meaningful employment elsewhere. In the real world policies and regulations are black and white and not open to interruption by individuals; however in government, especially in the judicial branches, too much individual interpretation has become the norm.
In government we also have operating policies; our Constitution and laws passed by Congress and state legislatures establish those policies. Our courts have sadly become an instrument of delaying tactics. Ever since president Trump took office there have been countless legal challenges to his policies. The left has a tactic of hunting for liberal judges who will issue an injunction on the implementation of his policies; the travel ban was just one example. Usually the issue will progress through the courts and eventually it will wind up at the Supreme Court where the lower court decision will be reversed. If our judicial system had any form of checks and balances these liberal activist judges would be searching for employment elsewhere. The big flaw in the current system is we have appointed judges who, once placed in their positions, are there for life and basically don't answer to anyone. Recently President Trump made the comment that there are Clinton judges, Obama judges and Bush judges. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Roberts, took offense to his statement and said that all judges were fair and obeyed the Constitution. At the time I wondered if John Roberts actually believes in what he said or is he just naive.
I don't claim to be a legal scholar but I have actually read our Constitution, and from my understanding it is the policies for our nation and not a document to grant rights and privileges to people who are not citizens of this country. Like many other Americans I have grown tired of liberal judges using their position to insert their liberal beliefs onto the people of this country. When you have the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals making outrageous decisions that have a track record of being overruled by the Supreme Court there needs to be some punitive action taken against them. In the real world we have to face the reality that if we ignore the rules and policies that were laid down to us we will be looking elsewhere for our next paycheck, these liberal judges need to be held to the same standard.
