BZZZT.

I've ignore the lies and insults about "right-wing extremism" and elaborate
on part of why you're wrong above.  The LEGISLATURE WRITES LAWS that
define punishment for violations of laws.  Courts are established to hear the
arguments about the laws and to oversee trials to establish in a jury's view
whether laws were violated.  LEGISLATURES specify penalties; juries and
judges may choose, but from what they're allowed to choose by the laws.

How foolish or unethical of you to think courts do what legislatures really do.

But then, so many losers out there do see it as normal, even desireable for
the judiciary to arrogate (not merely have wrongly delegated to it) the power
of the legislature.

I suppose you really are so foolish or unethical to deny the phrase "legislation
from the bench" is accurate.

The Left in the USA is not only intellectually vacant when it sees nothing
wrong with judicial activism, but morally vacant as well when it supports it.


You stand corrected and hopefully educated, again,
