We have an activist Judge problem here as well and I wish the senate would start going after them.
Judiciary is important but it's become too powerful at times.
"Activist judges" is a term used by people who disagree with the rulings of the judiciary. I have some news, the judiciary knows the law better than you, better than me, better than the legislature, and better than the executive. When any government that is set up with a separation of powers that includes an independent judiciary makes it not independent, it is a concerning move and a step backwards in democratic principles. It doesn't matter whether it is the right-wing doing it, or the left, moves like this should concern citizens.
