There’s nothing wrong with the idea of a court being reluctant to legislate from the bench.

So, are you saying that Roberts was right about Obamacare?

"Hey! That's a bad law! That's unconstitutional! Congress can't do that!"

You think the court is "legislating from the bench" when it says such a thing? The court is stepping outside it's proper bounds when it does this?

Exactly. Same goes for those who decry congressional "gridlock."
The fewer the laws these clowns pass, the better we'll be.

My point is that they ARE legislating from the bench - with half-measures. They go just enough into legislating for one side to try to "even out" the particulars between sides. Thoroughly unconstitutional.
