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 ****s 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.
