So it's better to stick with judicial activism once it's a long-standing precedent than to overturn it?

You overturn judicial activism by overturning bad rulings using sound rulings that do not step into new areas of judicial activism.

You don't overturn judicial activism by inventing more judicial activism.

The latter is like "fighting for peace" or "fornicating for chastity."
