This summer's decision by the California Supreme Court to legalize gay marriage shows that this state's government does not need the peoples' voice.

As a concerned high school student, citizen and future taxpaying voter, I make this proposal: We would save a massive amount of money by ridding ourselves of the legislative branch. Since several Supreme Court judges will do the job of the legislature, should the people expend such a large portion of their taxes to pay representatives?

An abhorrent unbridled abuse of power displayed by California's judges calls for impeachment. If we don't take that blatant breach of the Constitution seriously, we might as well stop spending the money for "representation." Sen. Obama would favor this point, I think: All money not spent on campaign contributions would automatically deepen the "spreading the wealth for fairness" pot.

All jesting aside, I keep seeing more and more acts of judicial tyranny in this country. Not only do the judges not understand the intent of the authors of the founding documents, but they blatantly overstep their bounds and shut the people up.
