Sounds like Judicial Activism to me...
Are you talking about the 3 out of 5 cases already heard by the S.Ct. that were reversed? That number is laughable in itself. The S.Ct. usually reverses 75% of the cases it reviews. At 60%, she is well ahead of the curve. Out of the thousands of cases she has ruled on, only 7 went to the S.Ct.? Of those that were reversed most were 5-4 6-3 decisions (2 have yet to be taken up by the Court). Only one was reversed unanimously. That is a pretty good track record, IMO, and is not indicative of a judge who is practicing judicial activism. If she were, I would expect that the number of her rulings taken up by the S.Ct. to be much greater than 7, and her reversal to be much greater than 3.
