Licorice,
You keep citing problems that are created with an activist court. The 4 members in the dissent are activists and don't give two shits about the written law, the Constitution or judicial restraint. They are there to impose the will of those that can't get their governing ideas through the political process.
We have 4 constructionists that see things in terms of written law and original intent.
Justice Kennedy trends constructionist, but has been known to be an activist.
All the decisions of late are 5-4, because there is no common ground between constructionists exercising restraint and activists ideologues. One would think the law would be the common ground, but they would be wrong.
