DiogenesLamp: "This is a point that I had always believed to be unremarkable among conservatives.
Judicial activism has long been a gripe of the conservative movement."

Right, especially so long as the Court was dominated by leftists.
But I have already heard Democrats complaining about alleged conservative "judicial activism", and that was even before Kennedy retired.

So now with, we expect, a solid conservative majority, expect Democrats to complain to the rafters about how the Supreme Court is actively overturning laws Democrats worked so hard to put on the books.

Of course it's just nonsense, but when did that ever stop a good Democrat?

To them, undoing ridiculous liberal decisions is "activism." The courts are just power by another means, and they are all about power.

Yup.
