Yeah, I gotta agree with Manx. The judiciary should not be a more or less vestigial organ of the government, existing only to settle disputes with generally predictable outcomes. The judiciary should be a full third of the government, striking down legislation that violates the Constitution (or a state constutution, or whatever) and playing an active role in the governmental process. I'm way way way way more scared of tyranny of the majority than when the Courts actually do their job.
By the way, and I'm just asking, what was your opinion of the Supreme Court in Bush v. Gore? The way they actively interfered with the state government's right to judiciate itself? After all, elections are state business, and the Bush v. Gore court was very activist.
