Original Air Date-27 November 2003

James Brooklands is charged with the death of a woman and her two children whom he struck with his car. Brooklands was using his mobile phone at the time and didn't have a valid driver's license. His barristers now argue that their client has had a complete mental breakdown and is unable to proceed with his defense. Sitting in the Civil Court, Deed finds himself hearing a case where Jo Mills and and his ex-wife Georgina Channing are the opposing barristers. The case involves a brain tumor patient who is suing her cellphone company. The government is very concerned at the effect this could have on industry and Deed finds himself under great pressure to recuse himself. Deed also finds himself having to deal with a new presiding judge, Monty Everard, with whom he has clashed in the past. Everard, he learns, will be presiding at Jo Mills' disciplinary hearing.

Episode 2: Judicial Review

Original Air Date-4 December 2003

Although Jo Mills has been absolved of any accusations of misconduct, Sir Ian Rochester and some of Deed's fellow judges now decide to marginalize both of them. Mills finds herself being taken off certain prosecutions and is subsequently informed by her head of Chambers that the Prosecution Service may drop her entirely. Deed is pressured into giving up the case of James Brooklands, the businessman who killed two young children and their mother with his car. Judge Everard takes on the case and sentences him to time served. A furious Judge Deed publicly accuses Everard and Rochester of misconduct. In court, Deed pr

Resolved Question: Why did Burris' attorney quote Marbury vs. Madison as a possible defense?
I thought the landmark case dealt with appointments (by a President) on a Federal level, NOT on a state level. Marbury vs. Madison established "judicial review". I think he needs to go back to the Constitution and reread it again.... Your opinions? Capt Kirk, that's right. He didn't, therefore it's not constitutional (hence the puzzlement over the Marbury vs. Madison quote by Burris' attorney) Thanks Iceman. If I wanted a bit of immaturity I'd ask for it. Jerk.

Voting Question: Why has a British-style living constitution been forced upon America?
The founders of this country specifically designed our Constitution so that it would be a written document that was to be "interpreted" as saying exactly what it said. They had experience with the British-style living constitution where constitutional law is merely based upon precedents and what is written down has little resemblance to what the Constitution actually says. Nowadays, our Constitution is generally accepted to say whatever the Supreme Court says that it says. Both parties overwhelmingly endorse the words of the Supreme Court as actually being law (although they agree that the Supreme Court can overturn its previous decisions on the whim of 5 justices). The Founders, knowing that activist judges might usurp power, inventing imaginary "rights" and imaginary powers of government, they created a means for the Supreme Court to be regulated by Congress. Congress is merely required by the Constitution to employ a few Supreme Court justices and provide them with jurisdiction over a few insignificant areas. In the early years of the Republic, the 11th Amendment was added to the Constitution to remove jurisdiction which was constitutionally granted to the Supreme Court and which the Court had used to attack States' Rights. However, an amendment is not necessary to stop the Supreme Court from usurping power. All Congress has to do is pass an act that strips the Court of its jurisdiction over that particular area. Originally, the States, Congress, President, and Judicial Branch were supposed to share the responsibilities for interpreting the Constitution. Congress was supposed to consider the constitutionality of a law before passing it, the President was supposed to veto any law he judged to be unconstitutional, the judicial branch was supposed to review the laws and determine their constitutionality (under restrictions imposed by Congress, which it is a subsidiary of) and the States were supposed to nullify any unconstitutional federal laws and prevent their implementation in that state. Furthermore, the States elected the Senators through the legislatures, so the Senators were required to serve the interests of their state's government in keeping the federal government limited in size. Originally, the members of the Electoral College were chosen by the State governments as well, but eventually they were chosen by popular vote (South Carolina was the last holdout, electing the president in the original fashion until the War of Southern Independence). Considering the disastrous failure of the extra-constitutional government of the last century or so, shouldn't we return to constitutional government? Considering the usurpations of power by the Supreme Court, shouldn't Congress pass legislation to remove its jurisdiction (and preferably to abolish the lower courts so that the Supreme Court has to hear all federal court cases and to eliminate all of the clerks, aides, and others who help the Supreme Court)?
