Leftists say that judicial activism is following the Constitution

On Twitter a leftist basically said that it's conservative judicial activism when the judges reach a conclusion he doesn't like.

For example he cited the Hobby Lobby case where the Court ruled that the First Amendment gives us the right to exercise our faith was an example of conservative judicial activism on par with the Courts "discovery" of an unfettered right for a woman to murder her unborn daughter.

But the truth is that to leftists the Court has been a group of tyrants who controlled society and that's something they like.  Only so long as the Court's edicts advance the leftist cause.

Given that the entire leftists edifice is at risk if the Court returns to it's true role of interpreting, as opposed to creating, the law it's not surprising that leftists will say anything in order to avoid having America return to being a representative republic rather than a banana republic.
