Judicial activism is when judges and Justices issue rulings diametrically opposed to the Constitution and existing law – because they’d prefer their Leftist ideology be imposed instead.
These judges and Justices aren’t interpreting law – they’re writing law. They should stop attempting to con us, take off the robes – and run for legislatures.
The Leftist-Zeitgeist assertion that there is such a thing as conservative judicial activism – is patently absurd.
Conservative judges practice judicial restraint. As in restrained by the Constitution and existing law. As in government – restrained by the Constitution and existing law.
Conservative jurisprudence – is antithetical to judicial activism.
To warp justice, Leftists warp judicial concepts like Stare Decisis:
“(A) doctrine or policy of following rules or principles laid down in previous judicial decisions – unless they contravene the ordinary principles of justice.”
Emphasis ours – because Leftists always leave that part out.
It is NOT judicial activism for a conservative court to reverse a terrible precedent from a preceding Leftist court. It is a restoration of judicial restraint – and thereby government restraint. It is Stare Decisis – rightly defined and imposed.
