I had this "judicial conservative" guy get in my face last semester about the role of the courts. He was aggressively touting how great it was that finally we are getting a "conservative" Court which will back off and let the "real" democracy do their thing. I didnt quite know how to react. I am proud of some of the progressive measures the Court has put into place in the past, and I have never been willing to concede that the court system isnt part of our democratic process.... I wish I had read this article then to be able to better have this conversation...
