This is one of the cases where I find the constitution unclear. Such situations give judges more latitude without them becoming truly activist.

I agree with the results of this case in practical terms, but a non-activist case could be made for deciding either way.

Last week's ruling divided the justices into unlikely cohorts, thereby providing a timely reminder that concepts such as "judicial activism," "strict construction" and "original intent" have limited value in explaining or predicting the court's behavior.

In some cases, or even certain areas of law.
