"Change is too mild a word for the remarkable inside-out transformation that is now underway. Conservatives are lining up not to denounce judicial activism, but to embrace it – in fact, to demand it of judges whose duty is to “fully enforce the limits our Constitution places on the government’s exercise of power over our lives.” The obsession on the right with wiping the new health care law off the books has nothing to do with it, I’m sure. But what a difference a year or two makes."
