Pennsylvania court continues to engage in Judicial activism

 WITHOUT CONGRESSIONAL PUSHBACK HOW FAR WILL THEY GO

CONGRESS NEEDS TO PROTECT THEIR AUTHORITY

In 2018 the Pennsylvania Supreme court took to themselves the authority to redefine congressional districts. This authority is clearly defined in the Pennsylvania constitution as a responsibility of the legislature. This was a serious breach of the authority of the legislature. While they made a weak protest against this overreach, they folded rather quickly. Now the overreach is continuing with the court redefining the rules for mail-in ballots. It seems this court is determined to be involved in the outcome of the upcoming elections.

The legislature passed rules for this years mail in voting. The court has now decided that ballots post marked until 8 pm on election day should be counted for 3 days past the election day. You can bet this will not be the end of the matter. If the outcome is not what they should desire, will they extend the counting for a longer time? Will they change the rules in other ways? Will we be counting ballots for weeks?

This is the result of the legislature not defending their rights in 2018. They should have stood fast. They should have shut down the government if necessary. They just put their tail between their legs and slinked away. This is a a result of weak leadership in the legislature.

This pattern is going on in all the swing states. Ballot counting is already being extended in Wisconsin and Michigan and likely in any swing state with a democrat governor and court.

It is reminiscent of the ballot harvesting that took place in California in 2018 where all the results resulted in the the Republicans narrowly losing their Congressional seats.

All this redistricting and ballot shenanigans are the result of the Obama and Eric Holder plan to change the rules to favor democrat candidates. This is a continuing effort.

As for the court, it is the result of the Education establishment which has been very aggressive in placing judges on the ballot and organizing their members to support those who will uphold their over-sized pension plans. The judges they have supported have consistently ruled unconstitutional any efforts to reform their over the top pension benefits. 

They have taken advantage of the fact that most voters have no idea who these judges are and what they stand for. A good rule of thumb would be, if the teachers union supports them, they should be rejected. It is time now to organize and inform the public on a massive scale who these judges are and how their agenda effects not only the citizens property taxes, but also the results of general elections.

It has been the pattern for decades when the left leaning cannot accomplish their goals at the ballot box or legislation, they get it done by sympathetic judges who are willing to engage in activist court rulings.

Judges should only interpret the law and the Constitution, not make it up as they go along. This has undermined the citizens confidence in the courts and created more division in the country.
