Funny how none of that is in the NH or US Constitutions
Not in NH Constitution
NH.gov - The Official Web Site of New Hampshire State Government - State Constitution, Judiciary Power
Nor is that in article iii of the US Constitution
Constitution of the United States - We the People
Are you freakin serious? I even quoted the article and sections above. Here it is again:
Both US Const. art. III Sec. 2, cl. 1. and N.H. Const. art. 72-a refer to the "judicial power" resting within certain courts. Judicial power is not otherwise defined anywhere in the Constitutions. Blacks Law Dictionary defines Judicial Power to be: the authority vested in courts and judges to hear and decide cases and to make binding judgments on them; the power to construe and apply the law when controversies arise over what has been done or not done under it.
If you put on your critical thinking hat, it doesn't take much to understand that this power is one that decides whether certain situations fall afoul of restrictions on government actions and establish certain rules to define the boundaries.
