So Which is it Guys?

Is stereotypical liberal rights defending in the courts and "judicial activism" balanced out by right wing legal enthusiasm?

So is this how staunch advocacy makes sure that the rules are scrupulously followed, or is it a source of random right-left action taken that always upsets the country, makes their causes look bad, and of course costs the government a lot of money?
