“....encouraging an independent judiciary.”

Since everything else seems to be slanted towards the liberal way, i’d take it that an independent judiciary means a judiciary divorced from the moderates and conservatives who may have put it in place, only to become a liberal and activist judiciary bent on promoting social change....They don’t want constructionist Judges, they want activist ones, who are willing to use the Constitution as the basis for change...

That's kind of where I ended up considering the folks we've sound so far. An "independent judiciary"... meaning a judiciary independent of the Constitution. I'm wondering what actions they would be taking to accomplish this, or whatever their goal is for "independence." Filing (or setting up) landmark lawsuits?
