Legislating from the bench
I've heard that term used by both ends of the political spectrum, mostly as a negative but sometimes defending the practice. What I don't understand is where the line is? How is ANY court decision that interprets legislation for the purposes of practical application, not itself a part of the legislative process?
Is it possible that this whole term is nothing more than a propaganda peddling talking point?![eusa_think :eusa_think: :eusa_think:](/styles/smilies/eusa_think.gif)
