Activist Judges: A Look Into Bush's Latest Lie

On February 24, 2004 , President George W. Bush made two things official: he is against the idea of two men or women who love one another getting married, and he's a deceitful hypocrite when it comes to "activist judges." Bush isn’t alone in his disfavor of what is going on in San Francisco , as most would agree that cities shouldn't be able to create laws going against those created by the State ( for instance, California 's citizens voted against the issue of gay marriage). Governor Schwarzenegger made a good point, saying that if this becomes the norm, cities could create their own laws regarding much more dangerous issues, like allowing people to own assault weapons. However, what you're about to read isn't about whether homosexual couples should be allowed to receive civil marriage licenses, but about how Bush is less than truthful when it comes to his fear of "activist judges".
Without a doubt in my mind, the Bush administration is the most right wing administration in America's short history. Whether it's going to war without legitimate reason, lowering taxes on the rich while deceiving the poor, or trying to eliminate a woman's right to choose, this administration has made no bones about it: they will appeal to the most radical members of their base, and you can go to hell if you don't like it. Here is where the hypocrisy comes in: Bush isn't worried about activist judges. No, he's worried about judges whose liberal thinking threatens Bush’s political rigidity. When it comes to right wing activist judges, Bush's worries simply disappear Case in point: Charles Pickering.
