The more the courts step outside of their bounds of interpreting whether something is within the realms of the Constitution and into the realm of creating new laws and rights from thin air, the more dangerous they become. The framers specified the role of the judiciary clearly.

The judiciary remains the main covert vehicle of the left. Clinton really cultivated it, with his massive installation of socialist activists. And we still have a SCOTUS that at least partially, is conducting heavy socialist/anti-Constitutional activism (5th amend. anyone?) from the bench. We still have a very serious judicial problem in this country -- where the "liberal judicial vigilantes" on the bench are changing our laws to suit their political agendas.
Clinton Cultivated it????
If I remember correct, Pubbies have controlled congress since 94....
