I haven't read the case other than a brief once-over when it was issued. The right decision was made, so I gave it a quick glance and nothing else. If I have time tonight, I might read it again when I get home.

Secondly: I usually don't have a problem with so-called judicial activism, because it nearly always expands the rights of the individual against the rights of the government. That includes the right to privacy (although I'm pro-life), and the right to travel, and the right to "speech-plus," none of which are actually mentioned in the constitution, but a product of judical activism.

The judicial activism I have a problem with is the type that shrinks the rights of the individual v. the government.

Being a conservative is all about personal responsibility and a small government. No matter what the vehicle is that gets us there, the end result is what we should judge by.
