How about this one? Do you not think this could reasonably be construed as judicial activism?

<<"The dissenting opinions suggest that the exceptions to the general rule of notification should be very rare and require a high standard of proof. I respectfully submit that these are policy decisions for the legislature," Gonzales wrote. In the same passage he concluded: "Thus, to construe the Parental Notification Act so narrowly as to eliminate bypasses, or to create hurdles that simply are not to be found in the words of the statute, would be an unconscionable act of judicial activism.">>
