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

Exactly my point. To eliminate activism on the part of judges and to depoliticize the judiciary, judicial review will have to go. I trust the elected representatives of the people to safeguard the people's interests more than I trust any judge to do it for them.
