No problem. I spend way more time than I should looking at these sorts of things. Vas mentioned Citizens United, which is one more recent and prominent example of conservative "judicial activism," but I honestly don't get behind the term much, either. I use it almost primarily in mockery or in an effort to point out that the term is like Easterbrook points out, just used when we don't agree with a decision.
