Watching the extraordinary influence that ideological lawyers, government bureaucrats and judges have over every serious crisis threatening America today brings to mind Arnold Toynbee’s remark that democracy will eventually commit suicide.

Consider how activist lawyers and judges meddle constantly in our war against ruthless Islamo-fascist terrorists who are bent on trying to kill as many Americans as they can. Every major national security and anti-terrorist measure our president and military use to protect us is under relentless legal assault in our own judiciary.
