This Radical activist supreme court is out of its mind.

No! They're not radical or activist, because they're Republicans. Only Democrats are activists.

True. Changing the definition of "well regulated militia" in the Second Amendment wasn't judicial activism, it was just common sense.

They're not radical or activist, because they're Republicans.

If you think the two sides of the above (as split by the conjunction "because") are in conflict or otherwise -- you haven't been paying attention to the last 40 years of the right-wing political resurgence in the United States.

I've been paying attention. Only Republicans are legitimate rulers in the USA. Only Republican policies and favored rights are legitimate in the USA. I was being a little sarcastic to try to emphasize that even though the current SCOTUS majority is ignoring precedent and has freed themselves from logic, they won't be labeled "activist" by any media, because the media lets Republicans frame issues and set agendas.
