Ford v. Carylon Corporation11/10/2005
s compelling, while the concept of constitutional process is abstract, rather arid, and the abstinence it counsels unsatisfying. To give in to temptation, this one time, solves an urgent human problem, and a faint crack appears in the American foundation. A judge has begun to rule where a legislator should."
Robert Bork, The Tempting of America: The Political Seduction of the Law 1 (McMillan, Inc., 1990). As Judge Bork warned, judges are to apply law, not make law. If we were to expand the statute in this case to produce the result we would like to see, we would usurp a power that the Framers of our constitutional system wisely reserved to the legislative branch of government. In fact, we are at the outer parameter of our authority when we interpret and apply the law as enacted by the legislature, call an unfortunate result to the legislators' attention, and urge them to take corrective action.
