An "activist judge" is one that decides differently than you would which makes the judges wrong and therefore suspect. So

of course it works as an argument.

Of course the most activist judges on the Supreme Court are conservative. -- nm - the liioulu with Feb 7, 17:26 21
- I have a feeling this will come down to which side of politics you fall on. - ty97 Feb 7, 17:27 20

    - Did he use that term? No. It was basically the same argument though. - spamlet (iPhone) Feb 7, 18:05 2

        I think they don't want to confuse people using the other side's term. - the liioulu with Feb 7, 18:19
    - The idea that democrats could collectively and effectively sell any argument to their constituents is laughable at best to their c - tRu Pad Feb 7, 17:59
  - If activist could be defined and then measured we'd be able to tell definitively. -- nm - TWuG Feb 7, 17:29 1
    - By their definition of "activist", of course they don't consider them to be activist. - the liioulu with Feb 7, 17:31
  - Sacre bleu! - spamlet (iPhone) Feb 7, 17:27 11
    - I will challenge the notion that there is an ST collective wisdom. - ty97 Feb 7, 17:33 10
      - The fact I am considered conservative says a lot, I think. - spamlet (iPhone) Feb 7, 17:37 5
        
        Not sure who calls you a conservative. - ty97 Feb 7, 17:42 3
        
        oh, but your friends scare me :) -- nm - ty97 Feb 7, 17:42 2
        
        Remember my profession and the fact I go to a fairly conservative denomination so it skews. - spamlet (iPhone) Feb 7, 17:48 1
        
        I have noticed that, you like the devil's advocate role. - ty97 Feb 7, 17:50
        
        I think you are a pink fascist liberal commie, if that helps any. -- nm - tRu Pad Feb 7, 17:38
      - Maybe, maybe not - tRu Pad Feb 7, 17:36 2
        
        No argument that there can be ugliness, but I think that's a completely separate topic. -- nm - ty97 Feb 7, 17:37 1
        
        I don't think it is, but I see why you might think that. -- nm - tRu Pad Feb 7, 17:39
      - The only collective wisdom I can point to is orange is bad for a board. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with Feb 7, 17:36
  - Well, duh. It's politics, so it's all about the eyes of the beholder -- nm - tRu Pad Feb 7, 17:27
