Do you think that the term Activist Judges is an authentic one, or something that more extremist right-wingers use to vent their frustrations about a judge who rules in favor of what could benefit a cause?

Left-wingers would use it too when a judge disagrees with them. lol

I am sure left-wingers will say that right-wingers vent frustration on rulings they don't like. I am sure just about everyone else here will likely say that. (And also because they DID agree with the decision.) But I feel it definitely has a place, for sure. It may not be accurate every time it is used but to say it's not authentic is just poppycock that leftists will only believe until a judge says something they don't like. lol

It's funny right wingers only think they're "activist" judges when it doesn't fit their agenda, but proud American patriots when they do.

^^^^Just like left-wingers. lol (although, instead of patriots, they're "open minded." lol )

They only become 'activist judges' when they don't rule solely in favor of what's accustomed.

Were the judges on the Supreme Court "activist" when they desegregated public schools or made it legal for interracial marriage?
