A charge made by conservative activists against liberal judges, accusing them of using their office to make laws instead of resolve disputes over laws.
The term 'judicial activist' is almost applied to liberal judges. Conservative judicial activists, on the other hand, are called 'strict constructionists'.

Get the Res Judicata mug.The single biggest travesty the world has ever seen. Most of the flaws lie in the police stations, full of corrupt officers that became cops because they got beat up in school or they wanted to feel special. They ultimately do more harm than good making plenty of stupid and unnecessary arrests that are based on "facts" that are mostly made up. Often have some bias involved. Then it all gets passed through the courts which aren't much better. Most judges see how bullshit the entire case is and want to dismiss it, but they have to cover the dumbfuck cop's ass so they proceed as thought the case were valid. In the end, a mostly innocent person gets a punishment they didn't deserve and the cop keeps collecting a paycheck they don't deserve. It has ruined countless lives because of bullshit charges.
An example of the U.S. Judicial System in action, The following is a true story.
One day at a Jefferson county middle school a fairly large boy tried to joke around with another one by acting as though he were to sit on him. The puny little boy had some serious anger issues and started kicking the larger boy in the stomach as hard as he could. When he finally stopped the larger boy sat down next to the smaller boy. a few minutes later, for no reason the small boy started kicking him again. This happened several times until class let out. when the larger boy stood up he was in a lot of pain and kicked the smaller boy once. Then the small boy shoved him and it wsas the final straw the large boy shoved him once and he flew across the room. The school called the police and after a few interviews with the amazingly bad cop manipulating everything said guess who was charged with what? It was the larger boy, who took a considerable beating and only struck the other boy twice. He was charged with THIRD DEGREE ASSAULT FOR SHOVING SOMEONE ONE IN SELF-DEFENSE. I think this proves how bad the judicial system is.
