they're just measuring how often a judge voted to strike down Congressional legislation
which, when done by anyone opposing the current Republican combo of President and The Congress, is considered 'legislating from the bench' or judicial activism by the neoright.

My point from previous threads is still valid. It is a responsibility of the courts to ensure that laws are consistent with the Constitution.

The fact that conservatives vote their conscience on their interpretation of the Constitution as it applies to laws they are reviewing neither surprises nor offends me, as it is their task.

What gets me is that when the votes don't go the way a particular idealogical group wants, how they start to howl.

But those who want to be convinced that the left is legislating from the bench aren't about to let facts get in the way of good story.
