    It has to be admitted that the line between appropriate judicial intervention and judicial overreach is often tricky. Sometimes the charge of judicial activism can simply mean a judgment we disagree with. But the evidence of judicial overreach is now too overwhelming to be ignored. Courts are doing things because they can, not because they are right, legal or just.
