| | Re: Will Trump be a Good President? | Quote: |  | | | For a man who rarely consults polls, Trump is surprisingly good at selectively quoting them (if they appear on Fox News). | | | | | @realDonaldTrump In new Quinnipiac Poll, 66% of people feel the economy is “Excellent or Good.” That is the highest number ever recorded by this poll. |

| | Re: Will Trump be a Good President? | Quote: | |  | | | @realDonaldTrump In new Quinnipiac Poll, 66% of people feel the economy is “Excellent or Good.” That is the highest number ever recorded by this poll. | | | | | A perfect example of what 22 Yards was talking about. Bit of an obscure poll, but anyway from the same polling...:
- American voters give Trump a negative 36 - 59 percent job approval rating
- 63 - 34 percent that he is not honest
- 59 - 39 percent that he does not have good leadership skills;
- 59 - 38 percent, that he does not care about average Americans;
- 65 - 32 percent that he does not share their values.
- 49 percent of voters say former President Barack Obama is more responsible for the state of the economy, while 40 percent say Trump is more responsible.
- Only 24 percent of voters say Trump policies are helping their personal financial situation, while 26 percent say his policies are hurting them and 47 percent say his policies are not making a difference https://poll.qu.edu/national/release...ReleaseID=2511
Strange Trump didn't tweet these other results.

I wonder how Trump would know whether 66 was a high number or not. I doubt he would be able to recite natural numbers in progression without using his fingers and toes, and he doesn't have 66 of those.

| | Re: Will Trump be a Good President? | Quote: | |  | | | It isn't arbitrary to temporal political situations. The two parties lean towards two distinct ideologies and political philosophies. Liberal judges tend to judge through activism and show attempts to shape law, while Conservative judges seek to find interpretation of existing laws to apply without shaping laws.
Republicans tend to appoint conservative judges, and Democrats liberals. Although this is not always the case. Many presidents appoint across party lines for notable individuals.
So when they impeach Trump, we can expect President Mike Pence? Really? Hmmmm, have fun with that!  | | | | | So your are saying the Conservatives, just like the Muslims, do not want to modernise their law book 
Of course, the US Constitution was only written a quarter Millennium ago so it is practically modern. |

It is not up to the Judiciary branch to define laws. They merely make judgment based on interpretation of laws.
Neither does the US President make laws. They only implement and executes laws.
Congress is responsible for creating and defining laws.
We call this "checks and balances".

We call this "checks and balances". | | | | | Wrong, wrong, and somewhat correct.
The judiciary interprets laws and thereby defines the way the law is implemented -- often substantially changing what many believe to be the original intent of the law by doing so (think, 2nd amendment).
The president has the right to create (flimsy) laws by Executive Order. The only other "implementation" of laws that he carries out is his signing of laws presented to him by Congress.
Yes, Congress creates and attempts to define (subject to presidential acceptance and Supreme Court interpretation) laws. But Congress is heavily influenced by the House and by the president (and by the myriad lobbyists that Trump has done nothing to evict from the swamp).

Its an old video but an interesting analysis of Trumps speaking mannerisms and his simple use of language. I am quite sure that the simplification is not intentional, but rather because he is a simple minded individual. | This user would like to thank TobiasM for this useful post: | |

We call this "checks and balances". | | | | | I was making a statement, not asking a question.
As 22yards posted; American courts follow the doctrine of stare decisis and defer to earlier cases on similar issues. Such cases are known as “precedents.”
Each judge, when deciding a matter before him or her, selects the prior cases on which to rely; no external authority designates precedents.
Under stare decisis, every case has the potential of being a precedent in some sense.
When a law is not clearly defined or poorly written or has gaps or does not cover a particular case then a judge makes a decision which sets a precedent that becomes the law since all future cases will follow that.

But the courts do not create laws.
I think this is key to understand what is going on in the US. If you can grasp this, you may actually find the whole thing less confusing for yourself and more interesting to observe.

You were the one who posted liberal judges change law (see your quote) which you also posted is not possible. | Quote: | |  | | | Liberal judges tend to judge through activism and show attempts to shape law | | | | | |
