Amazing how judges are only activist when they disagree with you.

Touche' - cuts both ways. So you won't disagree with a decision if it is something you don't agree with? What if I am of the minority and you are the majority and a judge finds for the minority? Will you exercise your right to disagree as well or will you just bend over and take it?

My example of NAMBLA was extreme to make a point. To my knowledge NAMBLA has not asked for marriage privleges. That does not mean that it is out of the realm of possibility (incremental creep has started) for them to attempt to have it legalized. It was somewhat "tongue in check" but I guess that was lost on everyone.
There is a "slippery slope", however and we are on it.
