A "good" judge reads the Constitution the way he likes it. To be honest, if judges ruled our way, liberals would be agitating for the abolition of judicial review also. The reason I want to get rid of it is not that judges do what they're supposed to but that it places in them a form of absolute power no elected official enjoys. And to rephrase Lord Acton, "absolute power corrupts and corrupts absolutely."

(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)

Well liberals are calling the judges currently being filibustered 'Conservative Judicial Activists'. Coming from literary studies background, I know this discourse quite well. It's not the writer but the person who interprets a text that has the last word. As we get furhter and furhter away from the time the Constitution was written we're only going to have more of these issues IMHO
