After years of Republicans whining about "activist judges" and "legislating from the bench"

[begin_within]

it turns out they themselves are the activist judges, and they are the ones legislating from the bench. Does this decision kill their "activist judges" argument?

1. That's bad only when liberals do it.

Like everything else, it's never bad when conservatives do it.

4. Ahh... the old Double Standard trick again

I should have known it was that!

11. They've always done it. They just "project" the action onto their opponent.

[blm]

2. No. You'll hear it as soon as Obama nominates someone. Not one mention of activist judges

in corpmedia today, though....you know....today....when they were actually ACTING as activists judges.

3. It's OK if you are a Republican

Republicans are hypocrites. Whatever they complain about the Democrats doing, you can bet that standard does not apply to themselves.

5. I guess with the appointment of Roberts and Alito we pretty much knew that

something like this was coming down the pike. This is painful to be sure and my hope is that Congress has something up their sleeve that will counter this (not holding my breath though).

6. "Activist Judges" only exist when conservative/reactionary laws

are overturned. See how that works? :eyes:
And yes, Sarah Palin is a fascist.

7. It's all just cheap shallow "politics" for them

They have shone over and over that they will say anything to get votes. Let see: lower taxes = borrow from china, abstinence = more pregnancy, right to life = lies for Iraq war, one man one woman = toe tapping in mens room. Theres lots more he he he.

8. Like "war is peace"

9. Wow, Maybe Palin was right after all: Fascism does seem to be coming to America!

And it is wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross. . .and it is carried on a silver plater by Republican elected Supreme court judges!

10. Love that sig picture, but ...

there's nothing in that Lewis quote about speaking in tongues. :P
