Conservative Justices Legislated From The Bench

The catch-all conservative phrase for anyone they do not like is "legislating from the bench" or judicial activist. It's just code to get the Right Wing all hyped up against someone or some ruling, except when it's in their favor.

"NBC News' Chuck Todd notes this morning that the five conservative members of the Supreme Court engaged in some legislating from the bench in yesterday's Ricci ruling."

Joe Scarborough has absolutely no comeback, mouth agape as if blind-sided by Todd's simple observation, claiming he was being polite and would need an hour to explain himself. That's nice. An hour to defend one sentence.
