Asking Why

Attorney Paul Mirengoff, one of the regulars at Power Line, writes about the Supreme Court stalling decisions on LGBT issues, blaming some of this on the new boy, Kavanaugh. Mirengoff believes Kavanaugh wants to “lay low” on controversial issues during his first year as a justice.

We should consider another possibility. Perhaps the conservative majority on the Court believes highly controversial social issues should be decided by the Congress and President, in the form of laws passed and not vetoed.

A good argument can be made for the notion elected representatives who have to face the public for reelection should decide such things, not appointed-for-life judges. How better to reflect the shifting public mindset?
