So What’s in Trump’s Future?

And none of that address my post. And to call Trump supporters as a group "conservative", well... So to ask my question again, are you in favor of judges "doing what's right" or following law and precedent?

The corruption must be cleaned up so following the law and precedent can be restarted...

Okay. I'll take that as you're for activist judges, at least as long as they are on your side.

I fail to see where refraining from dismissal on arbitrary grounds and at least allowing discovery would constitute activism as opposed to a course that smacks of complicity.

That sounds like the folks in the revolutionary times telling the framers what they were doing was illegal...

Those "arbitrary grounds" are the basis of our legal system.

Trump ends Obama's 12-year run as most admired man: Gallup

President Trump has ended former President Obama's 12-year run as the most admired man in America, edging out his predecessor in the annual Gallup survey released Tuesday.

Eighteen percent of the survey's respondents named Trump as their most admired man, compared to 15 percent who named Obama and 6 percent who named President-elect Joe Biden. Three percent named National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci, while 2 percent chose Pope Francis.

How does that apply to my post you quoted?

How so? Although what they were doing was illegal.

That is just the most brilliant thing I have heard all week. Misusing the concept of standing such that no citizen, candidate, group of citizens, state, or group of states can have a hearing in court based on merit is the basis of our legal system. If this is true we might as well eliminate the judicial branch.

You were throwing bricks suggesting that others were fine with activist judges as long as we get our way. I want to know how a fair hearing of evidence ad opposed to dismissal based on an exceedingly reaching application of standing constitutes judicial activism.

Just trying to establish whether Kut believes that courts, even the highest ones, sometimes rule according to what's expedient rather than what is right

I believe they do.

OK this one got whacked in the change. I am starting a new one.
