Wonder what this person thought of the California Supreme Court's ruling allowing homosexual marriage...? It cuts both ways.

You can’t have a citizen militia without private gun ownership and use, moron. I kept looking to see if this was satire or not... It’s amazing how liberals have a hard time reading clear language, but can find same sex marriage and abortion where there is no language that supports it.

But conservatives are ‘activists’ - Look, if we were activists, child molesters would still be on the execution list.

Chemerinsky is not a lawyer. He is a political activist, pure and simple.

>Never before had the Supreme Court found that the 2nd Amendment bestows on individuals a right to have guns...

didn't have to until you liberal trash tried to take away our rights.

And hey, dipstick? We are the militia.

Oh what absolute Bravo Sierra. So, when the court decides to stick with the interpretation of the constitution that the founders clearly intended, this is judicial activism? What rubbage.

The liberals, who want o change the constitution and the intent of those who wrote it are the activists and no amount of hand wringing or out and out lieing will change that.

EJ Dionne has been covering the same ground — the Talking Points must have gone out: If the Supreme Court pays attention to the Constitution, it is “judicial activism” and must be stopped.

This guy has a very short memory. Seems to me that the early colonists and founding fathers fought for the rights to own guns as the British attempted to seize them.

Don’t mix a liberal up with history, though. It ends for them sometime around 1962.

It is not judicial activism when the liberals make up laws from scratch that are not even in the language of the text of the constitution (abortion). However, it is judicial activism when conservative interpetationist judges read the plain text of the Constitution and history (we have always had guns in this country—unlike abortion, gay marriage, etc.) to find a common sense right that has always been there.

"If the terms "judicial activism" and "judicial restraint" have any meaning, it is that a court is activist when it is invalidating laws and overruling precedent, and restrained when deferring to popularly elected legislatures and following prior decisions."

Excuse me, but doesn't the U.S. Constitution (explained by the Federalist Papers) trump precedent and laws?

When judges uphold the Constitution, they are called “activists” by liberals. When liberal judges ignore the Constitution and laws passed by Congress and make their own laws, liberals consider that perfectly reasonable.

It just highlights their double standard.

It is called the Constitution.

How about if Los Angeles decides that you DON’T have a basic right to freedom of the press?

DUmbsh**s.

Chemerinsky was one of my bar review instructors a decade or so ago. Standard-issue liberal and total bore. He’s not worthy to shine Scalia’s shoes.

I do find it amusing that conserving a right, any right actually enumerated in the Constitution, is deemed "activism." The liberals are bleating that the Court has discarded precedent. This is a lie. What it did do was tear through the gossamer film of an illusion carefully constructed around ambiguities present only in the liberals' own minds.

In fact, the question they insist on attempting to keep open was decided. The right to bear arms is an individual right. Period. All the squinting and deconstructing and deliberate obtuseness in the world isn't going to make it ambiguous again.

Erwin Chemerinsky

"..President Clinton briefly considered Chemerinsky for an opening on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. However, his brief candidacy ended when Senate Republicans sent the word that his nomination would be dead on arrival..."

He was too nutty for the Nutty Ninth!

It’s “activism” when you uphold the ruling of a lower court and actually pay attention to the 2nd amendment. The ruling elite in this country, from the Democrat majority to the RINOS to the press is totally full of sh*t.

Chemerinsky is a simpering communist who couldn’t possibly have reasd the decision. He just gravitates to these kinds of stupid comments.

What a maroon!

Good Lord.

Only an ultra-liberal could possibly view upholding the Second Ammendment of the Constitution as being "judicial activism".

These guys truly have no shame whatsoever.

Judicial activism is making up new rights in the Constitution that aren’t there. The 2nd Amendment ruling is about protecting a right that clearly is in the Constitution.
