Sure. But for a long time conservatives decried judicial activism. This court has made it obvious that for many what they really didn’t like was activism that went against their politics.
- lolinder 2y agoNo, the court has made it obvious how much they dislike judicial activism: so much so that they're willing to roll back decades of precedent and likely cause a lot of confusion for a very long time in order to undo most of the judicial activism from the past. I'm all for a healthy debate on whether this is good policy, but the caricatures of this Court that keep showing up on HN aren't helpful for anyone. They lead to severe misunderstandings and bad predictions of what the Court will do next.
- kasey_junk 2y agoWith this decision they’ve quite literally moved the courts more directly into the executive. It may not be the activism of prior courts but it’s not a move to limit judicial power.
