Dictator Mitt

So, let me get this right...most conservatives think that we should leave the gay marriage debate to the legislature and away from bad, activist courts, but when the legislature decides to keep gay marriage legal, then it’s okay to use the courts to make the legislature rethink its position? Because why exactly? Because then it’s a bad, activist legislature? Or is it really because conservatives, when they use the “activist judge” lingo really mean to say that any judge who rules against conservative principals is an activist, and should be denounced as such, but any judge who rules in favor of conservative principals is an ardent defender of separation of powers? Actually, I think I’m going to go with choice (c) - because conservatives like Governor Mitt Romney, and to a lesser extent, President Bush are the kind of conservatives that believe that the executive branch should be judge, jury, and executioner. I think any person desiring to be the executive should have to read the Constitution and the Federalist papers, and then take a test. Call it the No Executive Left Behind Act.
