It is irrelevant to the concept of liberal vs conservative. If a law is wrong, it should be struck down.

Who decides a law is "good?" That is not the function of the Supreme Court. The function of the Supreme Court is to decide if laws are withing the framework of the Constitution. Period. "Goodness" doesn't enter into it at all.

So, a conservative judge should feel free to re-write state law if he thinks it's wrong but a liberal should be excoriated for doing the same...nice logic.

If a law is wrong, it should be struck down.Hank, Hank, Hank. That is the recipie for tyranny from the bench. After all, liberals have been deciding that laws were wrong for years and overturning them from the bench, in spiteful disregard for the Constitution. You would simply replace one rule of man with your own personal rule of man, instead of having to deal with the long, arduous process of changing the LAW instead of overturning it.

Can you clarify? By "wrong," do you mean unconstitutional, or immoral by some other standard?
