It’s called Checks and Balances President Doofus.


Yeah, he’s threatening the court, but come on. Republicans/conservatives aren’t exactly squeaky clean when it comes to playing the “judicial activism” and “unelected officials” cards when court decisions don’t go our way.

Yes, but...

When it comes to judicial activism on the left, it tends to be more positive (vs negative on the right). That is, they tend to read things INTO laws, or interpret laws to mean something they were never meant to mean.

Striking down a law as unconstitutional is a bit different.
