In their coverage of the President, the liberal media have given up being objective, and their credibility is now at an all-time low. Are the courts next? When considering the President's written immigration orders, some judges are basing their decisions not on the actual text but on what was said during the heat of the campaign. This is a dangerous development, dangerous to our judicial system and dangerous to our democracy. The judiciary's role is to interpret the law and decide whether it is constitutional. When judges decide to become politicians, injecting their own political bias into a decision, our Constitution and our government are at risk. If the media and the judiciary cease being objective, we should fear for the future of our country. ____________________
