Activist Judges...

Just for the record, activist judges is a crock in Virginia. ALL judges are only appointed for either 4; 6 or 12 year terms. Judges are reviewed closely by the legislature and every judge who has shown any tendancy to "activism" has been removed post haste.

Someone says activist judges are the reason for laws limiting judicial authority and discression, mention that too them and ask them to name one case of activist judicial ruling in Virginia. They cant.

As for other states impacting the code of the Commonwealth, this happens but only in that Federal code changes. Federal law always and ever will trump state law.
