Strange how things we say can come back to bite us in the ass. obama’s mimicking Republicans/conservatives. When judges make decisions we don’t like, we aren’t shy about playing the activist/unelected card.
Not “decisions we don’t like”, decisions we consider to be plainly outside the parameters of the Constitution. There’s a reason why the left generally considers the Constitution to be a “living breathing document” and the right in general prefers to stick to the plain language as written. The left has no compunction in admitting that they consider it open to relativist interpretation. (They have rather the same view of the Bible).
And I don’t recall any Republican making thinly-veiled threats to the SC regarding what decisions they better make, especially on the silly basis of their being “unelected”, or pretending that it would be unprecedented for the SC to overturn congressional legislation on the basis of unconstitutionality. That’s their job!
