2…………> Stop “Activists Judges”: AG Sessions Statement
The judiciary is given respect from the Executive and the Legislative branches. That is why the two political branches follow and enforce the rulings of the Judicial branch—even when we disagree. But judges are not sent from Olympus. They are not all-knowing, and the Founders did not establish the federal judiciary to be the final arbiter of all critical questions in our society. And so, the Judicial branch must show significant respect for the Executive branch and Congress. I fear, in a variety of ways, that honor has been eroding. You are all probably familiar with the term “judicial activism.”
An activist judge has traditionally been defined as one who goes beyond the law in a given case and injects his or her personal opinion or policy preferences into judicial rulings. This improperly takes the policymaking prerogative away from the democratically accountable branches. One argument for activism was advocated openly by President Obama when he declared his judicial nominees must judge with “empathy.” It is a seductive argument. But whatever empathy is, it’s more akin to emotion, bias, and politics than law. Such an approach is a direct threat to law, and since law and law alone protects our liberties, it’s a threat to our freedom and the democratic process. We at the DOJ fight against this heresy relentlessly. The rule of law is more than an outcome. It is a formal process that creates an opportunity for a jury or a court to produce a just outcome—and a just outcome may not be the politically popular one. Judicial activism is therefore a threat to our representative government and the liberty it secures. In effect, activist advocates want judges who will do for them what they have been unable to achieve at the ballot box. It is fundamentally undemocratic. Too many judges believe it is their right, their duty, to act upon their sympathies and policy preferences. In the recent DACA litigation, for example, a judge last year told one of our DOJ litigators, “You can’t come into court to espouse a position that is heartless.” Not illegal. Not unlawful. Heartless.

3…………> From Distant Stars: Zircon
An incredibly rare mineral known as reidite was found deep within the long-buried Woodleigh Crater near Shark Bay, approximately 500 miles north of Perth, Australia.
The reidite is only formed under the extreme pressure created when rocks from outer space slam into the Earth’s crust, and the current discovery is only the sixth time the mineral has been discovered on Earth.
Previous research estimated the crater to be between 40–80 miles in diameter, so if Woodleigh is found to have a diameter of more than 65 miles, it would be classified as the most massive impact crater in Australia.
“There are not many impact craters on earth that are larger than 100km in diameter,” Dr Cavosie said.
“The significance is that once they get to be much larger than 100km in diameter they enter a class of impact event that is large enough to cause mass extinctions and influence biological evolution. For instance, the large impact crater in Mexico that is contributed to causing the demise of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago is 180km in diameter.And that one is not even twice as large as what Woodleigh may be” he explained.

4…………> “Stormy Out”: Trump Wins
A US judge has dismissed adult film actress Stormy Daniels’ completely qrotesque defamation lawsuit against President Trump and ordered her to pay his lawyer’s fees, saying free speech laws protected a tweet the President had written referring to her. In his ruling, Judge S James Otero said Mr Trump’s tweet is protected by freedom of speech.
“The Court agrees with Mr. Trump’s argument because the tweet in question constitutes ‘rhetorical hyperbole’ generally associated with politics and public discourse in the United States,” Judge Otero wrote.
“The First Amendment protects this type of rhetorical statement.” Charles Harder, Mr. Trump’s lawyer, hailed the ruling as a “total victory.” “No amount of spin or commentary by Stormy Daniels or her lawyer, Mr. Avenatti, can truthfully characterize today’s ruling in any way other than a total victory for President Trump and total defeat for Stormy Daniels,” Mr. Harder said in a statement.

5…………> “ Poverty Is Forbidden”: Hungary “
“Habitual residence in a public space is forbidden,” the Hungarian Constitution now reads, freshly amended by Prime Minister Viktor Orban and his social policy experts that have long wanted to solve the problem that has been humanity from the dawn of time: i.e. institute a legal ban on homelessness.
Both the government and several local authorities have repeatedly failed to push through such a law, being stopped both at the Constitutional Court and most recently Hungary’s Curia, the Supreme Court, in 2016. This June, parliament passed a constitutional amendment banning homelessness, making an appeal in the Constitutional Court no longer possible. Should the US be next to adapt such a legislation?
