“three conservative judges who rejected the law took what some critics said was a more activist approach”
No, an activist judge is one who legislates from the bench and creates law outside the scope of the Constitution. A judge that bases decisions on adherance to the Constitution is not by any means and “activist” judge.
It's all about controlling the language. Those who control the language control the debate. Remember 'pro' choice, 'gay' lifestyle, reducing 'earned' income credits for people who paid no taxes is a tax 'increase'.
Such people used to be known as liars. Now they are 'spin doctors'.
