As for our judicial system being a joke - guess who's largely responsible for it? Not lawyers, not politicians, but you people (average citizens sitting on juries). So, an indictment of the judicial system almost necessarily involves an attack on the people.
It's sort of like looking in the mirror and saying, "hey, see that guy there, he's an a--hole."

As for "activist judges," I ask people what is an activist judge and they really can't tell me. When they do tell me what an activist judge is, typically, their definition is pretty lame.

Moreover, it's ironic that the Republicans (i.e. Delay) who always CRITICIZE "activist judges" were the very same people asking the judicial system to stick its nose into Terri's case.

Here's the definition:
Activist judge-Any judge that doesn't rule in favor of conservatives.

If you do rule in their favor then you are a judge that "strictly interpreted the Constitution"
