1. re·pub·lic/riˈpəblik/ Noun:
A state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives, and which has an elected or nominated president...
2. "Woodrow Wilson first articulated what would become American government bureaucracy in a 1887 scholarly paper advocating the study of public administration (Wilson 1887).... Although the United States Constitution has been in existence since the beginning of the Union and states enacted their own constitutions modeled after it, very few municipal charters specifically limited or delegated authority."
Ethics of Bureaucracy
a. "The politics-administration dichotomy is a theory which holds that bureaucrats are experts who should be left alone to do their job without political interference. It derives from the Woodrow Wilson days of the "founding" of public administration,..."
Bureaucracy Theory
Unelected technocrats, experts, and bureaucrats?
b. Ludwig von Mises said: "The worst law is better than bureaucratic tyranny."
3. Former NY Senator James L. Buckley said the following:
"Today, this federal law is 1700 pages more than it was prior to the New Deal. The reason is the creation of more and more bureaus and agencies endowed with ever broader responsibilities and discretion in defining the rules that govern our activities and our lives. And these rules have the full force of law! Congress has increased the number of rules whose infractions are criminalized, waiving the common law requirement that one knows he is breaking the law. Today, one can be jailed for violating a regulation that one had no reason to know even existed!
a. While the officials in these agencies are generally good people, they become focused on their particular portfolio of duties, that, often, they cannot see the consequences on other parts of society. Put this together with human nature, and one can see bullying, and misuse of power, especially when these individuals are immune to penalty, and supported by free and extensive legal representation: they have sovereign immunity in their positions.
4. C.S. Lewis identified the result of such great delegation of power and authority to these bureaucrats...
"I live in the Managerial Age, in a world of "Admin." The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid "dens of crime" that Dickens loved to paint. It is not done even in concentration camps and labour camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed, and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the offices of a thoroughly nasty business concern." C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters
5. Today, another Progressive President uses bureaucracy to eviscerate our republic:
"Behind every powerful health care mandate under Obamacare is a power-hungry woman named Kathleen Sebelius. As the Health and Human Services Secretary, she has unprecedented power under Obamacare to control health care decisions, the approval of medical products and the national biomedical research agenda. The Secretary is not only the key player; she is the only one on the field. "The Secretary shall " is mentioned more than 1000 times in the new health care law."
The American Spectator : Obama's Nurse Ratched
When did Americans decide to cede their power to a bureaucracy?
When did we lose our republic?
The Founders never in their wildest dreams saw that the role or function of the courts was to make law.
Neither has the court -- ever. Not once. You should not confuse right-wing talking points with reality.
The justices of the Court are politically appointed to make politicial decisions for the party that gave them the appointment. To believe otherwise is foolish. A few times in our history justices decided to interpret the Constitution for other purposes and reasons than political and could do so for they had a lifetime appointment.

And you should not confuse leftwing talking points with the history that is so easy to look up and understand how, where, and when the courts have overstepped their intended authority.

It says it all on the internet, it must be true.

It says it all on the internet, it must be true.
It also says it in the history books and in other sources for those with the interest to look it up. And no, just because it is on the internet doesn't make something true. Nor does the fact that something IS on the internet make it untrue.

Justices are insulated from politics by their life terms.

Justices are not insulated from their own politics with life terms; It is the very reason they were appointed.
