You could see why on the tape. The fact that courts do make policy, while true, is not a popular concept in some circles. Be they conservative, or liberal, court decisions do set policy.

She was upset that she spoke the truth, and guess what? Courts are not suppose to make policy. I don’t care if it’s a conservative or liberal court or judge. That is not the issue.

Don’t you see the problem. THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO MAKE POLICY.

Just because there are many cases where they DO, does not make it RIGHT.

Do you understand the distinction?
