So if 75% of voters in 11 states vote to reinstate slavery...
...any judge who overturned THAT would be pilloried in the LTTE pages as an "Activist Judge"

That must have been the Fuckin' witchur Family talking point for last week, because so many LTTE's were decrying these "Liberal Activist Judges" (never mind that most of them are Ray-Gun and Poopy appointees) and the mistake notion of Majority Rules, aka "The PEOPLE have SPOKEN!"

OK, so to a Taliborn-again, an "Activist Judge" is one who doesn't rubberstamp their "Handmaiden" world-view. I get that, but what's up with this "75% of the people voted for it, and those activist judges overturned it and made Law from the bench"...


I would like to know if it would be OK with these killjoys if 75% of the people in 11 states voted to legalize Weed and lower the Age of Consent to 9 years? Probably couldn't start the screaming soon enough to have some "Gawdly Judge" throw out the "Bad" laws...

Buncha hypocrits...

2. First Church of the Hypocrisy
What do you expect from people who have mastered talking out of both sides of their mouth?

Your post is spot-on, though, about how these people operate and think.

And I WOULD like to see their reaction if 11 states legalized marijuana and dropped the drinking age to 18.

3. "Activist Judge" - any who can read the Constitution and understand
that it provides protection to minorities from majority/mob rule.
