Gonzales' definition of activist judges

For those who don't defer to President's authority on national security. Geez, why didn't I think of such a clear definition?

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales says federal judges are unqualified to make rulings affecting national security policy, ramping up his criticism of how they handle terrorism cases.

In remarks prepared for delivery Wednesday, Gonzales says judges generally should defer to the will of the president and Congress when deciding national security cases. He also raps jurists who “apply an activist philosophy that stretches the law to suit policy preferences.”

I too think judicial activism exists, but not in the same form as Attorney General's. I think when a judge employs a rational basis which apparently not held by the Legislature is activism. As for a Constitutional issue, it should be up to the Court to make the decision. It's not about public policies, but Constitution.
