If you are using "liberal" and "conservative" in the classical sense, you're right. In the political sense, you're using the wrong terms. Conservative judges can be and have been just as activist as liberal justices. Liberals may have made some of the more recent, high-profile activist decisions, but they by no means have a corner on that market.
