A new name for right wing judges: Judicial re-activists

Great article in today's NYT op-ed. Writer Dahlia Lithwick suggests a new name for right-wing judges: re-activists. She writes: "Re-activist judges are the ones trying to roll back time to the 19th century. Re-activists are the judges who have reactivated federalism by rediscovering the "dignity" of states. Re-activists view Lawrence v. Texas - last year's gay sodomy case - as having all the jurisprudential force of a Post-it note."

Good reading. And a nice way to overcome another Repiblican Big Lie: that all liberal judges "make" law, while conservative judges "interpret" it.
