The judge is doing what the Constitution is telling him/her to do.
What's so activist about that?
If the Congress passes a law that says that we shall have no more presidents, it's up to the Judge to strike that law down.
You'd call her activist?
Let's hear it.
There was a time that the Supreme Court actually avoided sensationalized cases so as to keep themselves from being a part of pop culture. Not this Court.
Please explain how this law is unconstitutional.
I don't give a rat's ass about this particular law one way or the other.
My point is simple: Are the courts an equal branch in the US Constitution or aren't they?
If they are, then what is their role?
I argue that it is supposed to rule on the Constitutionality of the laws passed by the legislative branch and signed by the Executive branch.
If the Courts--up to the Supreme Court--rule that a particular law--such as one that eliminates the Executive Branch--violates the USC, then it is its, the Courts, moral responsibility to strike that law (or sections of it down). That doesn't make the Court "Activist."
Anytime it overturns a law on Constitutional law doesn't make it "activist."
My argument if this law is Constitutional or not. The Courts will decide that. My problem is will the "activist" label in the OP.
Nothing more or nothing less.
Now, if you all want to be all angry with the Mexicans, then so be it. Teach your children to be *******s and racist for all I care. Indeed, move your ass to Arizona with all other old as hell white people who can only breathe arid air. All of that is your prerogative and between you and your own heart.
But that has absolutely nothing to do with my point.
