The Honorable Judge Richard Suhrheinrich addressed the membership of RetakeOurGov during our monthly meeting. Judge Suhrheinrich sits on the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals for the United States of America. The Court of Appeals is the second highest court in America, a step below our Supreme Court.
Judge Suhrheinrich spoke about the power of the Judicial Branch of our Federal government. In many ways the Judicial Branch is more powerful than the Legislative or the Executive branches. Why? The Judicial Branch always has the last word.
A ruling by our federal courts cannot be overturned by Congressmen, Senators, or even our President. The citizens of our great nation along with our elected representatives are bound by the rulings of our court system.
Judge Suhrheinrich elaborated on four court cases which illustrated his concerns about the power of our judiciary and the potential for “abuse” if we appoint judges who “legislate from the bench” rather than interpret our laws.
Judge Suhrheinrich’s remarks are recorded here for your convenience. You are encouraged to listen to his 38 minute presentation as his remarks are quite insightful and educational.
Judge Suhrheinrich was appointed to the Federal District Court by President Reagan and was elevated to the Court of Appeals by President George H. W. Bush. In one of the court's more notable rulings, Judge Suhrheinrich denied an ACLU claim that the US Constitution demanded a "wall of separation between church and state."
