An activist judge is, by definition, one whose opinions you disagree with.
That said, federal Judge Clay Land of the Middle District of Georgia is about to be tarred as an activist judge by the wingnuts who are known as "birthers," people who believe that President Obama was born in Kenya, or on Saturn, or whatever.
The case, filed by Orly Taitz, who, when she's not being a narcisistic psychotic on TV, is actually a lawyer, was about an Army doctor who was refusing to be deployed to Iraq because she claims Obama is not the president.
The lawsuit defied any logic. The doctor had no problem serving her commander-in-chief while stationed stateside. It was only when she was going to be sent to Iraq that she objected.
Besides, the lawsuit made tons of allegations that had no basis in any known reality.
The judge tossed it.
He wrote, "Plaintiff's complaint is not plausible on its face. To the extent that it alleges any 'facts,' the Complaint does not connect those facts to any actual violation of the Plaintiff's individual constitutional rights. Unlike in 'Alice in Wonderland,' simply saying something is so does not make it so."
Wow.
This judge must be some kind of liberal activist.
He was appointed to the bench by George W. Bush.
