Activist Judge's Relatives Murdered

After all, she was an Episcopalian Jew, or married to an Episcopalian Jew.

If she were an activist, wouldn't you think she'd have ruled against the white supremacists in the first place?

It's hard to say. Activist liberal judges sometimes are sticklers on business issues, and only indulge their activist tendencies on what they purport to be civil rights issues. Anyway, the activist judges should take this as a reminder that being appointed for life doesn't mean for very long, if you get yourself killed.

eta my top person was Breyer, I think, then Stevens. Maybe vice-versa.
Breyer
Ginsburg
O'Connor
Souter
Kennedy
Stevens
Rehnquist
Scalia
Thomas

I guessed Ginsburg would be number 1. I could have guessed that Scalia and Thomas would be the last two (tho not necessarily in that order).

The first and last two don't surprise me. I was a little surprised that the Chief was 3rd.

So you think it all turned on her answer to the "capitol" punishment question? Hmmm.

The real activists now are the conservatives. Get with it. It's not like lefties are trying to bring back Lochner or anything.
