Brilliant commentary on the recent spate of comments coming from religious conservatives about “activist judiciary”. The term “activist” has never been satisfactorily defined in this context, and from my POV, they’re merely engaging in some rhetorical, vocal, and very public “sour grapes”. Reason helps put this into some ironic perspective (FDR, the Great Socialist, had the same views and used similar language as the New Fascists do) – unfortunately, it’s been my experience that you can show a fundamentalist the blue sky above, and he’ll still condemn you to Hell for denying that it’s raining.
Reason: In Defense of "Judicial Tyranny": The religious right's court-unpacking scheme
