I’m not sure what the percentage is, but lawyers vote heavily democratic and that’s the pool we get our judges from and you can bet there are a lot of republican judges that are closet democrats. It was sort of a quiet revolution. They’ve taken over the system. * * *

“To consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions [is] a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy. Our judges are as honest as other men and not more so. They have with others the same passions for party, for power, and the privilege of their corps. Their maxim is boni judicis est ampliare jurisdictionem [good justice is broad jurisdiction], and their power the more dangerous as they are in office for life and not responsible, as the other functionaries are, to the elective control. The Constitution has erected no such single tribunal, knowing that to whatever hands confided, with the corruptions of time and party, its members would become despots. It has more wisely made all the departments co-equal and co-sovereign within themselves.” Thomas Jefferson to William C. Jarvis, 1820. ME 15:277 whitherthefool.org * * *
