The government, under my leadership, will act to implement the rule of law and to maintain the independence of the judicial system, which is one of the pillars of maintaining a democratic system.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The bedrock of our democracy is the rule of law and that means we have to have an independent judiciary, judges who can make decisions independent of the political winds that are blowing.
My government has promised to comprehensively respect the independence of the judiciary.
In our system of democracy, our government works on a system of checks and balances. Instead of stripping power from the courts, I believe we should follow the process prescribed in our Constitution - consideration of a Constitutional amendment.
The government has a responsibility to protect society, to help maintain society. That's why we have laws... The rule of law creates a set of standards for our behavior.
Besides a happy policy as to civil government, it is necessary to institute a system of law and jurisprudence founded in justice, equity, and public right.
A government for the people must depend for its success on the intelligence, the morality, the justice, and the interest of the people themselves.
Maintaining checks and balances on the power of the Judiciary Branch and the other two branches is vital to keep the form of government set up by our Founding Fathers.
The Supreme Court and courts in general have been usurping the role of the legislative branch of government.
In a democratic set-up, people who are being governed should also be a part of the governing system. They should be drafted into the governance.
It is essential to democracy that the elected representatives of the people make the laws that govern this country - and not the judges.
