Even if I were to agree with you about FDR, that's like saying we shouldn't complain about racism today because slavery was worse. We shouldn't complain about anti semitism or neo nazis because Hitler was worse, right? What does one have to do with the other?
Bush and the talk radio drones have gone on and on for years about how horrible activist judges are. This while the current conservative supreme court is one of the most activist political courts in the history of this country.
Even while Bush yells about "activist judges" out of one side of his mouth, he tries to appoint extremist activist judges out of the other side. Even Republicans in Texas admit that Priscilla Owen is an extremist, but Bush continues to support her. Why? Because she is an activist and an extremist who supports Bush's views.
Who can argue that there is not rank hypocrisy coming from the right on this issue?
