In current context an activist Judge would most likely move to challenge the Patriot Act, Presidential Signing Statements, Warrentless wiretaps, as well as the restoration of Habeous Corpus.

An activist judge would be somewhat liberal and open for change. They would be big on civil rights. They would be ok with overturning decisions of the congressional and executive branches. They are willing to go against the constitution if they believe it would better our country.

Abortion in the constitution. The right to privacy hinges on the baby being a part of the mother like her liver. Why does it have different DNA? What other part of the body has a different DNA.

An activist judge is one who is ACTIVELY participating in things like deez-munching, deez-fondling, and deez-admiring while performing daily tasks such as laundry, cooking, and sleeping.
