Republicans love to talk about activist judges. However whenever a law is passed they are unable to stop in Congress they run to the courts to get it overturned.

Sanction Double Standard For Charlie Rangel Censure Recommendation–Gingrich Reprimand Only? #p2 #tcot #teaparty
The hearings held by the Ethics Committee today was despicable. This not a defense of Charlie Rangel. This is a rebuke of the ethics committee.
