So, you would want a Judge who would ignore the letter of the law, and instead render judgments according to his or her ideology.
You want activist Judges who legislate from the bench according to YOUR views.
And the difference between you and that Judge, and leftists would be what exactly?
I didn't address the other issues.
Regarding a Supreme court justice, I will only support nominees who are wiling to overturn the unconstitutional decision of Roe vs. Wade. I fail to see how overturning an activst, uncontitutional decision, that should never have been made in the first place, is itself activist and unconstitutional. Sorry.
Regarding activist judges what about the U of Michigan case?
