shibboleth

i heard someone (a certain house majority leader) call a judge an 'activist' i think that word has become something like 'groovy' for hippies or 'corporate shill' for liberals.. only this is a word almost exclusively used by angry conservatives.. always preaching about the constitution's authority, but then rejecting it's job description for the judicial branch of government. well.. whatever.. the only 'activists' i've ever seen were those millions of people marching around protesting the iraq invasion... and no one listened to them.. so what do you conservatives have to worry about a few judges.. you don't have to listen to them.. you never have to have a gay marriage.. or an abortion.. and no one will ever force you too.. not even an activist. oh, wait.. so this isn't about you? what's that? you're telling everyone else what to do? oh.. i missed that.. fine.. tell me what to do... but you can't make me do it..
