ohio cities epidemics
It's in every single county. It's in our cities but it's also in our wealthier suburbs. It's in our small towns. There is no place in Ohio where you can hide from drug epidemic .
government self issues
In my opinion, Chief Justice Roberts put it best during his recent confirmation hearings. And he said, and I quote, "The framers were not the sort of people, having fought a revolution to get the right of self-government to sit down and say, 'Well, let's take all the difficult issues before us and let's have the judges decide them.' That would have been the farthest thing from their mind," however, I fear that the Supreme Court forgets this advice.
play doe roles
Without question, the court does play a vital role in our constitutional system.
running law steps
Sometimes local, state and federal laws so clearly run afoul of the Constitution that the court must step in and strike them down. In most cases, the court performs this admirably and with great restraint.
issues judging people
The Constitution empowers the people to resolve our day's most contentious issues. When judges forget this basic truth, they do a disservice to our democracy and to our constitution.
people democracy trends
Some have even suggested that this recent trend has transformed our democracy from one founded on, "We the people," to one ruled by, "We the court."
decision firsts clarity
I'm not the first to have raised these democratic concerns. Many have faulted the court for its lack of clarity in certain cases and many have criticized its recent lack of deference to decisions made by state legislatures and Congress.
judging people democracy
Our constitutional system is founded on democracy: the will of the people, not the unchecked rule of judges.
jobs opportunity thinking
Im for the fracking. I think its an opportunity for Ohio to really get a lot of jobs. But we have to do it right. We have to really take a deep breath, do it right, make sure the public is protected, make sure our land is protected.
becoming illness violent
I have seen the cycle of a non-violent, mentally ill offender who is arrested repeatedly and put into the system repeatedly-never being treated for his illness and, as a result, becoming more and more ill.
people decision doe
That very document [Constitution] does little to serve people when Supreme Court decisions are written so that even high-priced lawyers can't figure them out.
children hiv care
It is my mission to ensure that HIV-positive children and children with AIDS are no longer overlooked and that they begin receiving the treatment and care they deserve.
children issues groups
I put a lot of emphasis on childrens issues. Children are many times ignored because they dont vote, and they dont have lobby groups.
judging temptation needs
Judges need to restrict themselves to the proper resolution of the case before them. They need to avoid the temptation to set broad policy.
