Religious right cries about "judicial activism" again



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Like I said in a post below, while the Democratic/liberal/progressive groups dawdle, the religious right continues their daily attack on the judiciary. The latest from the religious right propaganda organ AgapePress:

...A national pro-family leader is siding with a Montana Supreme Court justice who recently accused his judicial colleagues of radically revising that state's marriage laws. Justice Jim Rice was reacting to the court's 4-3 decision last week ordering all state universities to provide health insurance for the "domestic partners" of homosexual employees. Dr. Donald Wildmon of the American Family Association says the ruling exemplifies the problem of "judicial activism" that is rampant in America. "If the Montana Supreme Court can require the state to provide insurance coverage for the partners of homosexuals, it can require any other changes it sees fit," Wildmon says. The end result, says the AFA founder, is that the ban on homosexual "marriage" passed in Montana in November is "meaningless and void" -- and that the court has "usurped the will of the people." Wildmon's organization has launched a letter-writing campaign to the White House that allows citizens to notify President George W. Bush of their opinion on "strict constructionist" judges and "progressive" judges.
I'd love to see even one member of Wildmon's "flock" who can even enunciate what a "strict constructionst judge" is, without coaching.
