Except the very concept of "activist judges" is those that don't toe the
government's line.
"Activist judges" have said the the government can't infringe on the
peoples' rights to marry someone of the same sex, the government can't
infringe on the ability to record a broadcast show. No one uses the term
"activist judges" when they support the government's attempts to reduce
our freedoms only when they tell the government it can't infringe more
than it has.
My $.02.
