Judicial Activism For Me, But Not For Thee
Via OpenLeft, a conservative complaint about Ted Olson:
I cannot trust the legal judgment of a fellow who claims to be conservative and yet who clearly believes the Constitution should be used by the Judiciary to invalidate the will of the people [. . .]
Meanwhile, back at extreme conservative headquarters, the Wingnut AGs filed their opposition (PDF) to the federal government's motion to dismiss their complaint asking the judiciary to overturn a law enacted by the duly elected Congress and signed by the duly elected President, the health bill and its individual mandate.
Respect for "the will of the people" apparently only matters some of the time. In other words, judicial activism for me but not for thee.
Speaking for me only
