If they would've passed something like this regarding segregation the country would be a very different place. Those judges were "activists" too. Our past is full of examples of "judicial activism". Many of which are shining moments in our history and examples of why our system is better than most.
An "activist judge" is nothing more than a pair of conservative buzzwords. These judges were just doing their jobs. If doma isn't constitutional than their job is to label it as such and that's that. If doma is constitutional than this farce of a law wouldn't be necessary. Suprise suprise, and issue is being unnecessarily politicized in an election year. I don't know why the republicans feel it soo necessary to pander to the religious right since i think the rr has really no viable alternative when it comes to election day.
