    I am so sick of people who are so woefully and willfully ignorant of the role of the judicial system. one of the most important reasons why we have a judicial system in the first place is because it is there to sheild and protect groups of citizens from having their rights infringed upon by majority rule. That is why the founding fathers fought and advocated for the judicial system being the third branch of goverment.

    given that the vast majority of the justices within this country are conservative leaning, it should be noted that conservative judicial activisem is more prevelient. liberal judges hardly even exist, and 'liberal activist judges' is nothing more than a meaningless buzz phrase spewed by far right conservatives whenever they dont get everything they want, which includes whenever the constitution is upheld in its current existance.
