She has stated over and over that the role of a justice is not to make policy.  It is simply to apply the law, as already written.  She is right.  [/quote]

That's not what the Supreme Court is for.  Does she know that?  [/quote]

We know that liberals don't believe this is what the court is for.  PP is correct.  You believe the court is there to write law.  [/quote]

According to Republicans, the SCOTUS is supposed to be full of activist judges to overturn laws they do not like.  They do their typical projection by saying it is the liberals who want activist judges, but, as is usual with them, they accuse the other party of what they are the ones doing.

They want judges to push their activist, conservative agendas to overturn laws, even when doing so is not in keeping with what the majority of the American people actually want.

They want judges to do things like say corporations are the same as individuals.

The GOP are simply FOS.

Don't gaslight us. The reason it SEEMS like originalists are activists is because they have to be ACTIVE to fix all of the activism that subverted democratic majorities in the 1960s and 1070s with the liberal Warren and Burger courts. If the libs hadn't messed with it to start with and just passed amendments rather than "discovered rights" to change the Constitution by fiat, we wouldn't be here. There wouldn't even be a federalist society. [/quote]

Since 1968, the GOP has won exactly 4 national votes by popular majorities and yet, have had 75% of the SCOTUS picks in that time.[/quote]
