The reaction here on FR to this ruling makes me think that when it comes down to it, we originalists really don't have any support in opposing judicial activism.

You're right. There's only a small amount of Freepers who want change.

If you think this latest decision is being poo-pooed on this board try finding support for judicial term limits, or using the Judiciary Committees to call judges into question because of their rulings, or any kind of debate about how to change the judiciary.

We hear a lot about judicial activism here, but not a lot about a way to seriously control it. The Framers gave us a way to constitutionally change government when government got out of hand. Well, the judiciary has been out of hand for a long time, but most Freepers prefer to keep the status quo and whine about it.
