Why do we even have legislatures anymore?
This year’s crop of Presidential candidates is anything but inspiring. Conservatives don’t really have any great choices, but John McCain is certainly looking better than Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton. Even so, if conservatives want to hold the line against socialism we need to concentrate on the congressional elections.
… or so I thought.
This AP story reminds me of where the real problems in our government lie. It’s in the court systems.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - A federal appeals court on Monday upheld an injunction against a Minnesota law that targeted at children under 17 who rent or buy violent video games.
A three-judge panel of the 8th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals agreed with a lower-court judge that Minnesota went too far when it passed its law two years ago because the state couldn’t prove that such games hurt children.
Excuse me?
