Thus, the pushing of the myth of "liberal activist judges" "legislating from the bench" is doubly hypocritical. Not only do liberal judges vote to strike down Congressional legislation far less than today's radical conservative judges, but when they do so they are far more likely than conservative judges to have a reasonable Constitutional reason for it.
One could say that it's unfair of me to single out John McCain for propagating this myth. After all, he's just one of a vast army of conservative elites who do this. But since he's the presumptive Republican nominee for President, he deserves special consideration. Whenever he (or anyone else) brings up this issue, he should be challenged on it. Democrats cannot afford to stand idly by and let Republicans and their corporate news media enablers get away with pretending that they are the Party that gives a damn about the rule of law and the American people.
