By guiding the judicial selection process, we can begin to reestablish the constitutional balance envisioned by the Framers. It is also time for us to take a broader, comprehensive look at the alarming increase in activism on the Court. As Chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on the Constitution, I intend to convene hearings in the months ahead to examine this disturbing trend. Americans should not sit idly by as our individual rights are surrendered. A half-century of unbridled judicial activism has made that danger clear to all but the intentionally ignorant.
Experience is both the best and most expensive teacher.
Let us lend our voice to this cause. Thank you very much. But it cannot survive treason from within.
