Tyrannies

[richardf8]

Lately, especially since the Massachussetts ruling on gay marriage, there has been much talk of "Judicial Tyranny" from the neo-cons. Based upon contexts I have come up with the following definition.

Judicial Tyranny: Any attempt by the courts to uphold the constitution and protect personal liberties that run counter to the slimly held popular opinion du jour.

Yep. I often read neocon whining about "Liberal Judges" meaning, "Judges who correctly interpret the law."
