Isn't what judges do is to give rulings where laws are ambiguous or non existent?

Judges can't create law, but they can refuse to administer it as the law was intended. An anti-death penalty judge would refuse to apply the criteria for that sentence. There was such a judge in California and may still be. A judge or a court is an ACTIVIST when a particular camp repeatedly seeks out that court because it knows the court will deliver predictable results in its favor. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has such a bias. A judge is an activist when jury consultants are allowed too much power in his courtroom. In my view, jury consultants should be put out of business forthwith, forever. They prostitute the entire system. These are just my opinions from the sidelines.
