Salon Takes on Judicial Activism
by TChris
Sounding the alarm against right-wing attacks upon an independent judiciary -- attacks disguised as righteous reaction to judicial activism -- is this piece in Salon.
[T]he Schiavo case presents an opportunity to stem what conservatives frequently call an "out-of-control" judiciary. By "out of control," they mean out of their control; in the Schiavo case, after all, we saw two branches of the federal government succumb to the will of this savvy minority, while a third branch remained determinedly out of reach. Now that third branch is under attack. It is far from clear that the judiciary will survive unscathed.
Who are these activist judges?
