Too many activist conservatives taking away rights.

Conservatives uphold the laws. That's not activism. Libtards think it's right to subvert laws they don't agree with but can't get support to abolish or change. They want to use the judicial branch to subvert the legislative.

They "uphold the laws" by interpreting them in a way that grants people the fewest rights.

Libtards recognize that sometimes laws are shit and take away people's rights and need to be removed.

Judicial activism is the wrong way to do it. That is corruption. It all seems great as long as the corrupt happen to be doing what you like, but sooner or later they will fuck you over too. Then you will finally understand why laws matter, and why it matters that people, and especially the government are held to those laws.

Laws that are unconstitutional get overturned by the courts. You'd rather the supreme court just say, "Congress, pretty please?" And if Congress just goes, "well we know it's unconstitutional, but....nah", what then?

How would that be an effective implementation of checks and balances?

Of course unconditional laws get overturned, that has NOTHING to do with what I'm talking about it and you know it. If you had an intelligent argument to make you wouldn't be spewing this strawman bullshit.

You leftists are just unscrupulous, as you have shown. That is exactly why you can't be trusted with authority.
