On the Wrong Side of 5 to 4, Liberals Talk Tactics

Item. Or, alternatively, have the law on your side. :)) (Sorry, I knew I couldn’t say that with a straight face.) Or — whoa, here’s an idea — change the law through those guys the people vote for, what do they call them, oh yeah, the legislature.

Wow. It’s not often the left lays its soul so bare. I think my favorite line is “making the alleviation of poverty a constitutional imperative”, although I confess it was difficult to choose from the bounty offered. That one line sums up the entire problem that I have with liberal judicial activism (written in the sure risk of repetition). If you have to make something, then that means that the something is not already there.
As Tim pointed out, making things (laws) is the job of the legislature. The problem for the left is that they’ve never been particularly successful at the ballot box.

Which rather reveals the oxymoronic nature of the “Democratic Party”.
