judges run amok

Not exactly.

In New York and Georgia, they upheld gay marriage bans. In Florida, they struck down a $145 billion (!) class action lawsuit against Big Tobacco. (Coincidentally, both cases involved Rosenblatts--the New York justice who recused himself, Albert, and the husband and wife suing the tobacco companies, Stanley and Susan. They don't appear to be related.)

Regardless of whether you find the verdicts fair or unfair, welcome or distasteful, it's clear that the heady days of judicial activism are done--because they never existed. (Sorry, Bill Frist.)
