I have come to realize...

Correct but they aren't in power and therefore cannot do anything about the current situation now can they?

They were in power except for the last two years though,and even losing congress,they still held both the legislative and judicial branches,which would make that two out of three branches of the US goverment,you dont get to wiggle out of it that easy Lyle,its your mess,wear it with pride or shame,however you see fit.

The judges #1 Aren't classified as Republican or Democrat and #2 Aren't involved in law making unless the law/bill conflicts with the Constitution.

Thank you Preme for getting us back on track

I thought they were allowed to interpret the law.
I mean you guys have been bitching about judicial activism for 30 years now
You mean,now that owning two of three branches of government for the last 8 years, and all three for 6 out of the last eight years has made this your fault,there werent any activist judges after all?
Very selective reasoning
Funny Limbloat and NewsMax kept going on about all these activist judges,you mean the right wing lied to the American People 24/7?
Sorry its your hole,your party dug it

[El Kabong]

There ARE judges on the court right now who view the Constitution as a "living document" therefore making them the activist judges you speak of.

So if your party controls both the executive,and judicial branches of government,and has control of the legislative branch for most of the last 18 years.....................
"WHO'S HOUSE? RUN'S HOUSE"
Here I'll help you,the legislative branch writes the laws,that would be the part except for brief periods your party has controlled for most of the last 18 years,writes the laws. The executive branch,which your party has controlled for 28 of the last 40 years,signs the laws,and the judicial branch which again your party has controlled for roughly 20 years interprets them.
And this would not be your parties fault how,precisely.
Its your pig sty, you can wallow in it.

Trainer, the Republicans nor the Democrats run the Judicial Branch....judges are chosen on their merits and their reasoning behind what they believe.

And virtually all of the big court cases in recent years have been 5-4 which doesn't imply a great deal of control like you want to make everyone believe.

Oh bull pucky Lyle,everybody knows how the high court breaks,and by what party affiliation
Scalia aint no Democrat,nor is Roberts or Thomas,or Alito. Stevens is a Ford appointee,Souter is a Bush 1 appointee,Kennedy was Reagan one.
So all but two justices are Republican nominees
