The role of the law and the courts …

I’m concerned that in America the role of the law and the courts in our lives is being reversed.

Laws are meant to provide a way to deal with harmful acts. Something that is not unlawful is lawful. At least, that’s how I think it should work.

But with so many things being brought to a state or The US Supreme Court it seems that every action must be approved before someone can act. The role of law is being reversed in people’s minds from dealing with a harmful act, to approving an act, and that without government approval something is prohibited.

A government-centric, socialist trend?

Am I wrong?

Just thinking.
