Today’s
Daily Telegraph has a story about judicial activism in England. It is
worth reading. It quotes a three hundred-year old authority as saying, in
different words, “Show me the judge and I’ll tell you the law.” This is the
quote:
As Bishop Hoadley of Winchester remarked three centuries ago, “whoever interprets a law may justly be considered the lawgiver, not he who first wrote or spake it”.
There is little more to be said.
