On the contrary, acitivism it NOT reverting back to what the constitution originally intended. Activism is when you take the responsibilites given by the constitution from Legislative Branch to the Judicial Branch of Government. Righting an illegal act is not activism, it's justice.

There are ways to address bad law and it's spelled out by our Founders. Righting a wrong is not decided by a President or a Judge, it's decided by the people. Either through their elected members of Congress or an Amendment to the Constitution. Activism to reverse Activism is not how our Founders said it should be corrected. "We the People" is how we should address any and all matters concerning the Constitution

Which constitution? The constitution of today is about 20 amendments different from the the one originally crafted. If the Founders had decided that the original constitution and the 10 amendments were all that we would ever require then they would have put a full stop at the end of it instead of the amendment process.

Please don't take me the wrong way, I agree with you about the horrible decisions we have seen in the past 35 years from the SCOTUS. I simply consider any activism from any Judge as a violation of their oath.

I am a big fan of Justice Antonin Scalia and I have read almost every opinion he has written since he became a SC Justice. I have also watched a debate he had with Justice Breyer last year where he speaks about what I am saying here tonight very clearly, (Mush better than I can). I suggest you watch that debate if you haven't already. If you haven't, I have a DVD of it and will gladly send it to you. Scalia is a Justice that our Founders would be very proud of, especially considering how politicized the Court has become these days.

Cheers,
Mike

The problem with adopting the Left's favorite tactic of legislating through the court is that the next time there is a majority of Leftist justices (which might be only one administration away), they will return the favor, and reinstate Roe. That's why a Constitutional Amendment is the only way to go.
