		<description><![CDATA[During Elena Kagan&#8217;s confirmation hearings a phrase that was continually used to malign Republican/Democrat judicial nominees is &#8221;judicial activist.&#8221;  Hearing many politicans dismiss the idea of &#8220;judicial activism&#8221; as something the other side of the ideological divide or loser of a case says when they dislike the outcome of a case is pathetic.  The unimaginative dismissal of this very serious issue by politicians and pundits alike [...]]]></description>
