Strict Constructionist and originalist judges are NOT "activist" judges. The president has repeatedly said that his judicial nominees, for all courts, will come from that pool of originalists and strict Constructionists.

Sadly, some people here don't understand the meaning of those words. Neither are they knowledgeable of what the SCTOUS actually does. They want a genie, who when they rub that magic lamp, will grant them what they think they want...IMMEDIATELY. That is also what they want from a president, whom they imagine can act like a dictator or king.

Reality and facts are an anathema to them.

And for all of the wailing, gnashing of teeth, and caviling around here, the one thing some people just don't get, is that GONZALES HASN'T BEEN NOMINATED TO REPLACE O'CONNOR AND HE WAS NEVER ON THAT SHORT LIST TO BEGIN WITH!

No they understand it but they want one thing and one thing only, THEIR OWN ACTIVIST COURT". I don't want a judge nominated because of his/her stance on one issue. That person may be ready and willing to overturn R v W but what about the hundreds of other issues he/she may decide?
