New York Times Condemns Activist Judiciary
In perhaps a great case of Laphamization, the New York Times is lamenting judicial activism before the judge is even confirmed:
    One of the most important areas for the Senate to explore is Judge Roberts's views on federalism - the issue of how much power the federal government should have. The far right is on a drive to resurrect ancient, and discredited, states' rights theories. If extremists take control of the Supreme Court, we will end up with an America in which the federal government is powerless to protect against air pollution, unsafe working conditions and child labor. There are reasons to be concerned about Judge Roberts on this score. He dissented in an Endangered Species Act case in a way that suggested he might hold an array of environmental laws, and other important federal protections, to be unconstitutional.
Isn't it a shame how much power the judiciary has?

Only when it's wielded by judges of whom the New York Tomes disapproves, apparently.
