I'm not really bothered by "activist judges" per se. I think that an activist judge who functions as a check on government excess is doing his job. I think that an activist judge who takes the literal word of the Constitution seriously is doing his job. "To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;" clearly does not give Congress authority over intrastate commerce.Originally posted by DaShi View PostActivist judges.

Absolutely.

Thomas, whatever else he does, can at least understand a simple phrase like "interstate commerce."
How can that be in any way shocking, when the vast majority of what the federal government does blatantly oversteps both the "plain text" and "original intent" of the Commerce Clause? The court had already thrown that inconvenient snippet of the Constitution out the window seven decades ago, so it's not even an issue anymore.Comment
