...as liberal reliance upon the federal courts has grown over time only because liberals have been unable to get what they want on such issues through such democratically elected bodies...

Here is exactly the Clinton strategy, and for the most part, it worked. This is WHY the criminal left so badly wants to CONTROL the key elements of our judicial system. (ergo blocking of Constitution-supporting judges)
JUDICIAL ACTIVISM is the trump card of the corrupt left.
The very first time the Dems blocked his nominees is when the GOP should have stood up and said "Wait a minute! We don't FILIBUSTER judges!", and that would have ended it right there.
But what did they do instead?
They let the Dems run the Senate like they were in charge, instead of the Reps.
I'm sorry to say, that much of the blame, over the the filibuster, rests right on the shoulders of the Republicans in the Senate that should have spoken up the first time it happened.
