Twenty years ago, judicial activism was barely on the radar, and then mostly in the hard-core liberal jurisdictions. Now that it has spread like kudzu, the political reality is much different. At least one of the candidates is talking about this problem.
Fixing the problem is, of course, another matter. It would require a major shake-up in the Senate and decade-long (minimum) political commitment within Congress to take back and hold what is theirs. The labors of Hercules seem insignificant by comparison.

20 years??? Earl Warren. William Douglas. They defined judicial activism 50 years ago. Then Souter, Blackmun and that motley crew. Left-wing, judicial activists have been ripping the country up since the early 60’s at the latest.
I think you’re off by at least 30 years...................
