  - the point is not whether or not it constitutes judicial activism - znufrii Apr 3, 10:11 4
    - In the statement that Stephen quotes, O both defines its meaning, then says "this is a good example of it." -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 3, 10:16 3
      - Yeah, he's saying both: stuff it, conservative commentators, *and* "judges, don't do this because it's activism." -- nm - Inigo Apr 3, 10:19
      - and then proceeds to draw the contrast between that definition, and the term's use in practice by conservatives -- nm - znufrii Apr 3, 10:18 1
        
        He does? Where? -- nm - Stephen, loving the Lady Irish! Apr 3, 10:22
- Though it kind of feels like he's now using the term at *his* convenience. - Dr.Vermin Apr 3, 09:57 1

I can't tell if that's actually his point - znufrii Apr 3, 09:45
Is it self-fulfilling prophecy if the judicial activists are the Republicans? -- nm - David Apr 3, 09:43 1
- c'mon it's not like he threatened to have them arrested if they issue a ruling he disagrees with - pixitude Apr 3, 09:45
