Tell me something I don’t know. We never once read any portion of the actual Constitution in con law class.

Though it’s not the case here, what if there was judicial activism (i.e., the political or personal desire of a conservative judge to pursue a conservative agenda with little to no respect of the law) that was ultimately beneficial to a conservative agenda? Would we, as conservatives, focus more on the principle or the result?

I mean, it’s obvious that liberals consider the courts a means to an end. When push comes to shove, would we act the same way?

Bravo to Bravo Sierra.

Twisted words and skewed meanings are the constant tools of Leftist rhetoric.

Scalia went miles to show timeless compliance with the understanding of the ratifiers as well as the writers and historical understanding. The very opposite of judicial activism.
