Rush Limbaugh nails it again:
You go back to '81 when Reagan appointed Sandra Day O'Connor. When she was appointed, there was a lot of opposition to Sandra Day O'Connor, and over the course of her terms as a Supreme Court justice, there were a lot of people that took shots at her, but if you listen to the left now, why, she was a model! "A pragmatist. Centrist! We need to get someone like her." That's because she was an activist. They like her. She was an activist and they want activist judges. You've gotta get rid of this new terminology of "conservative" and "liberal" to describe judges. It's activist versus originalist, and that's what it's come down to, and the libs don't want an originalist because they don't want the original intent of the Constitution "interpreted." They want it to be bent and shaped and flaked and formed; they want it to be able to grow to accommodate whatever depravity they want to define as "normalcy" and whatever increasing government power they can articulate and bring about. They want the court backing all that up and of course the original intent of the Founders was to limit the power of the federal government; so they had no interest in originalists, and originalists is going to be called a right-wing conservative. They love O'Connor. They hated her but now they love her -- and Gonzales? If you watched any of the Sunday shows isn't it amazing, folks, to see how the liberals in the Democratic Party and the media have come together to embrace Alberto Gonzales?
