| Description | One of the biggest con games these days is the Republican attack on the courts. You know the rap: "activist judges" who exceed their authority, ignore the plain language of statute and the Constitution and run roughshod over the elected branches of government.
These days, however, it is the supposedly conservative, Republican judges who are the power-grabbing, results-driven activists. And there is no better illustration than a dunderhead decision recently handed down by the U.S. Court of Appeals in Atlanta that disregards the express intent of Congress, ignores the extensive fact-finding of the Federal Trade Commission and is sure to cost consumers and taxpayers billions of dollars a year in unnecessary drug costs. |
