It’s actually a very simple discrimination to make. “Rule of Law” judges are conservative judges and “Activist Judges” are liberal judges. The only people who make this distinction are the conservatives who are unhappy that they aren’t getting their way in every sector of government. Conservatives aren’t at all interested in solving the problems of society with liberals, they are sure their way is the only way, so these sort of pronouncements are childs play. The tea party is devoted to this line of reasoning. I love it when conservatives go after liberals and their social programs. It helps illustrate their profound and deep-seated hypocrisy. The same people who rail against all the evil that liberals have perpetrated on the world are more than willing to suckle at the entitlements that the liberals established. If you were really conservative, march yourself right down to the Social Security office and declare that you no longer want Social Security payments, and while you’re at it, go to Medicare and declare that you no longer want that either.
When you do both of those, come on back and argue your points. Then you’ll finally occupy a position of authority after you put your money where your mouth is. Until that happens, please, shut up and cash your Social Security checks and go back to wildly gesturing in a ineffectual and adorable manner.
