If you have any questions about why SCOTUS acting on political agenda instead of the Constitution is dangerous consider this. Wickard v. Filburn, 317 U.S. 111 (1942), Farmers can be fined for growing too much wheat, even it is only for their own use. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wickard_v._Filburn

Interesting... Normally when the Court upholds a law passed by Congress, it's considered judicial restraint.

The liberals have it all for now, perhaps for the next 20 or so years, if Hillary wins. With a 4-4 vote, the decisions go to the Appeals Courts, which are mostly liberal. If Obama gets his nomination approved, they win. We have lived through it in the past, and will again. But, we will be "transformed", to be sure in any event. Oh, based on Republican selects in the past, they will win again after the pick shows their true color and votes with the libs on the court. We be screwed, IMO.

Yea FDRtried to pack the court. And I know that Justice Roberts has brought this up. Les see the SCOTUS has found the right to sodomy and a right to abortion. A right to marry. But stopped at redefining marriage. Obama lawyer caked the Obama care penalty a tax. And got it passed. You had citizen United were Conservative speech was being shut down. And Bush V Gore which should have been 9 0 for. And you have the Obama appointees and Gubsburg who always vote the party line. If Ginsburg was ever the swing vote. The world would stop on it access. And Jusice Scalia who was vilified by Obama and the left for telling people to amend the constitution.
I don't know if we can ever get away from an activist court.
