Our judicial system was established to interpret the law. not to formulate national policy. However. within the past 15 years. many of our Federal judges have taken to "backdoor legislating" on such controversial issues as school prayer and busing. and abortion. In my own State of Texas such backdoor legislating has occurred on such issues as prison overcrowding and the provision of educational services to illegal aliens. The perpetrator of overreaching judicial bounds has been Federal judge William Wayne Justice. I sincerely believe that neither this legislative body nor the American citizenry can stand by and watch this transgression of constitutional authority.
