What is an Oligarchy?

With so many stories in today's headlines about how the judicial system keeps defying the Constitution of the United States, along with State and Local laws, I thought it would be interesting to see how many people are really paying attention. So, I pose to you- the reader- this question.

WHAT IS AN OLIGARCHY?

Can you give any examples of how judges have abused their power (other than the Terri Schiavo case)? We ELECT legislatures in America, in order to have a say in the laws of the land. When rogue and ideological judges can sit on a perch and scream politics as they CREATE law instead of INTERPRETING law- we are headed in a DANGEROUS DIRECTION!

I have a strong suspicion than many people are not alarmed by this because they do not understand the monster we are facing.

One more question.

Can you give an example of a country ruled by Oligarchy?

This should be quite interesting........
