Future of the Judiciary
Instapundit doesn't think much of Cass Sunstein's op-ed piece on Bush's renewed vigor to fill the federal courts with conservative judicial activists. I thought Sunstein's article was uninspired, at best.
I do agree with Sunstein that conservative judicial activists extremists pose a threat to the Constitution because the Constitution is a living and breathing document which can be viewed as ambiguous or open to interpretation in some instances. Stacking the courts with judicial activists extremists will provide some judges with too much power to impose their views of what the Constitution means.
Far better reading is today's New York Times Editorial, Defending the Judiciary, which is not only more on target than Sunstein, but offers some solutions as well.
