OK, Phil, name some far left positions I hold then.

Wage caps. Stacking the courts. Dismantling the United States military. Taxing the hell out of cigarettes.

Stacking the courts is a very liberal position. The communists can't be troubled with little things like the Constitution, so they appoint judges to come up with a "broad interpretation" so contrary to what the framers intended that even they can live with it.

We don't need to stack the courts. We have Congress, and Congress can completely dismantle their jurisdiction.

Thing is, no one seems to want to use the power.

What president, over the last century, made a serious effort to force his ideology on the court, exclusive of appointment?  FDR.

Only an example, JJ - stacking the court is not a "liberal" thing to do just because FDR happens to be a Democrat, and I have a feeling that's where Philip is getting his logic.  Anything that is designed to put more power in the hands of the state is inherently a conservative and atavistic manuever.  You have to remove Republican, Democrat, and our politicized ideals of liberal and conservative from any such discussion.

Give me an example of conservative activism somewhere in the federal courts.

How was Lincoln an anarchist?
