You refer to judicial activism. What recourse does a citizen have when a legislature or city council retricts a fundamental human right. If that's judicial activism, which is a buzz word I don't agree with, then let's have more of it. You can understand why legislature lobbied by people who believe as you do would attempt to restrict that which we have a right to do. It is the role of the court to stop such tyranny and to protect the rights.

You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. That's the most foolish, idiotic post I have seen on FR in years. (and that's saying quite a bit)

"Judicial Activism" is when the court writes law, instead of the legislature. It's a coup and at that point you may as well put crowns on their heads and call these 9, almost un-accountable & completely un-elected people in black pajamas the defacto rulers of our nation. As they have completely thwarted the will of the people and their duly elected representatives.

If you want to completely slip the leash on all levels of our government and ignore the Bill of Rights, there's no way faster or more sure than Judicial Activism.

Contrary to what you posted, it's not " the role of the court to stop such tyranny and to protect the rights. " Courts are there to apply the law as it is written, period.
