If I was King

Volume I

If I was King I would decree that all news persons and pundits would no longer be allowed to describe Supreme Court nominees as Liberal or Conservative.

The so-called Liberal nominee would be referred to as anti-Constitutionalist, Liberal-Activist, or Lawless-Tyrannical.  (Or Lawless-Tyrannical-Rex just for fun)

The so-called Conservative nominee would be referred to as a Constitutionalist, Strict Constructionist, or Originalist.

Note:  A Lawless-Tyrannical could also be a conservative who sought to accomplish, through judicial decree, a policy or law that could not be established legislatively by Congress or State Legislature.  A strict-constructionist by definition would be opposed to such a device.

It was an activist court (The Burger Court) that overturned the laws of 50 state legislatures when it legalized abortion and ignored the will of The People.

The Constitutionalist Justice by definition seeks to limit the power of the Federal Government (including the power of The Supreme Court) and allow the states, communities, and the people to govern themselves.

The terms Liberal and Conservative have political relationships and meanings which can only confuse the issue.
