Enough Is Enough!

I, like most Pennsylvania tax payers I’m sure, am so angry with the judges on the state supreme court that I could spit! My anger is the result of the recent decision by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to reinstate the pay increase for about 1,000 elected and district judges, including retroactive pay of course.
Why have these bombastic, moronic jurists who obviously hold way too high of an opinion of themselves decided to do this awful deed even in light of all the taxpayer outrage? Because they claim that the repeal of the pay-raise by the legislature was unconstitutional. The state supreme court also ruled that the unvouchered expense part of the pay-raise the legislators voted themselves in the dead of night last July is also unconstitutional, however, the state supreme court is not going to require them to repay it! Obviously the good ole’ boy system is alive and well in Pennsylvania and as is usually always the case, the only losers in this whole deal will be the Pennsylvania taxpayers....surprise huh?
So why is the state supreme court demanding their pay-raise back with back pay and not demanding the legislature do the same with their unvouchered expense money? In a nutshell, it is due to the principle of the separation of powers. To repeal their pay-raise, the legislature in essence holds the judicial branch hostage and exercises an undue influence over them. And idiot, moronic "Justice," Ronald D. Castille and four other idiot, moronic judges basically employed the same rationale as the justification for not demanding the pay back of the unvouchered expense money by the legislature. It also deserves mentioning that Justice, Thomas Saylor filed a separate opinion stating that the judges’pay should not have been restored, but he is up for retention next year so we know his motivations, don’t we?
So other than the fact that everyone in politics, whether they are part of the executive, legislative, or judicial branches, is a scoundrel and a crook, what else do we learn from this horrendous decision? Well I get the impression that the state constitution is a joke and so is the separation of power’s principle. If obeying the constitution was that important and an unconstitutional act was that bad, then the judges on the state supreme court would demand that the "unconstitutional" unvouchered expense money be paid back by the legislature. But in fact they are not. So next time anybody does something unconstitutional and are taken to court, they can laugh in the face of the judge and tell him or her to promptly go to hell since the legislature committed an unconstitutional act with impunity.
As for the separation of powers principle, doesn’t the legislature vote on pay raises for the other branches of government? How is it not a separation of powers issue when that vote for a pay-raise for the other branches, but it is when they decide, especially in the face of such public outrage, to repeal that very same pay-raise? I guess it’s really the end result that counts. If it results in more money and/or power to the government, it’s a-okay. If it diminishes their power or decreases their financial security then folks, we have a constitutional crisis.
So readers, let’s give these judges, legislators and bureaucrats exactly what they deserve, our contempt and our rage. There is only two laws we need to recognize and live by and they are: "do unto others as you would have done to you" and "live and let live." Well unless the other person is a judge or politician, or possibly a lawyer.
