OT:Gerald W: Liberal Judicial activism: sacbee.com The gravamen of Kennedy's question to Gore's lawyer, David Boies, was this: Suppose that, after the Nov. 7 election, Florida's Legislature had made by statute the changes -- new deadlines for recounting and certifying votes, selective re-counts, and so on -- that Florida's Supreme Court made by fiat. Would that have violated the federal law that requires presidential elections to be conducted under rules in place prior to Election Day? Boies, somewhat flummoxed, began his answer, "I think that it would be unusual. I haven't really thought about that question." Boies' admission that he had never thought about the large question of political philosophy involved in the Florida turmoil was altogether believable............ .............Until now, the central question in that argument has been: How much government do we want? For some while -- at least since the New Deal -- the basic answer has been clear: Lots of it. But now that question about the quantity of government should be supplanted at the center of political discourse by this question: What should be the principal source of government -- the judiciary or the political branches?

Interesting how the left never complains about liberal judicial activism.
