"NRO: When you think dictatorial activist judge/"radical in a robe," who comes to mind first?

Levin: Justices are not imbued with greater wisdom, judgment, or compassion than any other citizen. Some justices have been senile, racist, and crooked. Some have been brilliant, honorable, and exceptional. There's no reason, even outside the constitutional framework, so much authority should be exercised by so few. Activist justices come in many stripes but, as a rule, they use their lifetime positions to impose by fiat that which should be decided through the democratic process. They don't believe they're bound by the Constitution's firewalls. Justices Stevens, O'Connor, Kennedy, Souter, Breyer, and Ginsburg are activists."
