Re: Perfect example of an activist judge
said by cjski  :said by GOLFnSUN :Reversing himself without any prompting from either participant in the case is almost by definition an example of judicial activism. Dude! Let go of the right-wing talking point...the judge did the right thing. How is his position right wing? I am a right winger and I totally disagree with him.

said by Jovi :I am a right winger and I totally disagree with him. Yup, same here. They don't come much more "right wing" than me, but I completely disagree with him as well. The judge absolutely did the right thing! I've always been taught that, when you make a mistake you correct it, even if the mistake hasn't been caught by someone else yet. In this case, it's not activism, it's honesty and humility.

TJunk is not a right-winger, he's a corporatist. If you look back in his posting history it will show you he has very little understanding just about anything but he thinks otherwise... 
He's not a right-wing person, I agree - he's an ultra-right-wing corporate extremist who thinks all these things he preaches would be good for his stock portfolio.

There are a lot of different views here yet non has been declared such a corporate-licker one like his ones.
It's amazing how afraid we are of questioning our own beliefs, as if someone who disagrees with us will somehow make us wrong.
It's amazing when someone with obviously little or zero clue about his track record jumps in and starts posting empty cliches confidently... how about reading up a little bit?

It's amazing how every time I defend TK, people accuse me of not knowing "his track record". Yeah, I know what his opinion is, I read it almost every day. I even disagree with him in almost every post he makes, and I take the time to argue with him sometimes.
Maybe instead of acting like an immature dunce, you could try stringing a few sentences together without resorting to ad hominem arguments to prove your point.
Remember kamm, if you were taking flack on a regular basis for giving your opinion I would be sticking up for you too, regardless of whether or not I agree with said opinion. |
