The difference between a liberal leaning Supreme Court and a conservative leaning one is that the liberal court makes no bones about changing law to fit its view of the times whereas a conservative court pretends to give credence to past laws while changing law to fits its view of what life was like in the 1790s.

I would have less complaint about the Supreme Court if Alito, Thomas, Scalia, and Roberts would simply be honest about their judicial activism. Both liberals and conservative jurists are judicial activists; just one group wears the label proudly and the other is in denial.
