"activist judges"

I despise that term. I've been hearing it for a while.

Someone in Congress was recently talking about overturning Marbury v. Madison because that's where "judicial activism" started.

Of course, the guy had a point: the Supreme Court doesn't have the right to overturn laws on the basis of constitutionality according to the Constitution. They kind of gave themselves that power. But I personally think it's *very* justified.

Time to go read my constitution to make sure I'm right about that previous paragraph. . .
