Progress is Being Made: Everyone Agrees that "Judicial Activism" is Bad

So now the former proponents of judicial activism are attempting to re-define the terms. Well, at least it's progress.

Ed Whelan takes to the pages of the Los Angeles Times this morning to bash that Sunstein and Miles piece on judicial activism that I criticized here and here.

Ed’s most valuable contribution is to put the Sunstein and Miles piece in its proper context, noting that it is but a small volley in the war “to try to defuse the charge of liberal judicial activism” by advancing “shoddy” arguments that redefine “activism” to allow the charge to be leveled at conservative judges.
