Hopefully these judges will be unabashed judicial activists for conservative positions.

There lies the biggest problem we have on he judicial front. Conservative judges tend not to be activists. They attempt to interpret law in accordance to the Constitution and precedent. Leftist judges will declare the "law" to be whatever it is that they want it to be.

- liberals openly nominate and promote liberal activists to the bench who manufacture their own laws, while conservatives look for strict constructionists who simply try to maintain the status quo.

Yup. Sadly, there is no solution that is in line with Constitutional principles. If we appoint 'activist' conservatives, THe legal system will become even more of a joke and travesty than it already is.

There is a constitutional solution: impeach and remove activist judges. There is some judicial leeway, but if there is a pattern of decisions that are outside that leeway, remove the activist from office.
