But the disregard of precedent is one of the defining characteristics of an activist judge! Creationists can't denounce him as an activist while howling about his adhering too closely to precedent.
Sure they can, as long as we understand that "activist" is shorthand for "makes decisions I don't like".
You've got a point, but all I see here is a double standard and I hope real conservative judges get active. The libs give activist rulings all the time. Let the higher courts stop district judges who rule conservative along with the liberal ones they have to clean up after now.
Anyway Jones is a "moderate" Tom Ridge Republican. The "Daily Rectum" story even drug in Santorum's support of his nomination. Just being the loyal party man again, but I think the newspaper wanted to stir up more conservative anger against him by mentioning it. I'm voting for Santorum over the (not his father) Casey Jr., who's just a lapdog for Chuckie Schumer who'll block good legislation and nominations from the president along with the other Dems.
Can so too!
