Do you know what branch of our government that worried Thomas Jefferson the most? Yes, the tyranny of the judiciary was a great worry to him. Read some of his thoughts on this tribunal that could easily become an oligarchy. robgagnon.net/JeffersonOnJudicialTyranny.htm Compare the following quote in Abraham Lincoln’s first inaugural address: “…The candid citizen must confess that if the policy of the government, upon vital questions, affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court, the instant they are made, in ordinary litigation between parties, in personal actions, the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having, to that extent, practically resigned their government into the hands of that eminent tribunal.”
