Would you then agree that that a federal judge that just overturned a verdict against Merck is also an activist judge?
There is truly no difference. They each protect their own political interests. Don't anyone even THINK about placing a double standard on that one!

"Activist Judge" is the cry of someone who can't get their way.

I federal judge should be interpreting the law instead of making it. Any judge that does differently is an activist.

An activist judge is any judge that rules the way people don't like.

Activist judge is a political term. There is no such thing as an activist judge.

No. A judge is just that and s/he has to rule in favor of one or the other. If s/he rules in favor of one over the other doesn't show judicial activism.

ought to you also say a black choose ought to not make certain a case about black equivalent rights? Or a married choose ought to not rule on a case about marriage? and that i wager, in accordance to you, a sources-possessing choose can't make certain a case coping with sources? Your rant is unhelpful. certain, a gay federal choose can jolly nicely make certain a gay marriage case. yet do not difficulty. His ruling will be upheld by using the appeals courtroom.

That depends on the actual case. In some cases, deciding in favor of "gay rights", whatever that is, is supported by law and precedent.
