I don't care whether judicial activism comes from the right or left. Activism is activism. From whichever direction, it has the ability to destroy our third branch of government.
It is worth noting however, that activist courts such as the Michigan Supreme Court which are bent to limit and extinguish rights and principles which have existed in Michigan law for decades or longer have a far more serious and potentially disastrous effect on the judicial system than activist courts that extend the law or citizen rights. Extinguishing rights by overruling or simply ignoring prior case law creates tremendous instability because of the thousands of pending cases which have already been filed by Michigan citizens relying on prior case law.
Michigan citizens have a right to know what the law is, and to govern their behavior accordingly. The Michigan Supreme Court has stripped citizens of that right, and created instability within our Michigan judiciary.
