		Jewish activism is like a full court press in basketball: intense pressure from every possible angle.
		Klein’s activism highlights the importance of access to the major media enjoyed by Jewish activists and organizations—a phenomenon that is traceable ultimately to Jewish intelligence.

		Alito thus neatly joins the ranks of right-wing activists in the battle to limit the power of Congress and diminish the efficacy of the judiciary.
		Lithwick's analysis is faulty because she muddles the two kinds of behavior that people typically label as judicial activism, as she must if she is to criticize Judge Alito without undermining her own seeming preference for a "living constitution."
		After all, if a judge doesn't subscribe to originalism - or some other clearly defined, constrained method of judicial decison making - he or she can indeed impose policy preferences from the right as easily as from the left.

	Taking 'college protest' to a new level this fall / S.F. school will offer a degree in activism
		For $5,500 to $6,000 a semester, the 32-year-old Mission District school is offering bachelor's and master's humanities degrees with a concentration in "activism and social change." While schools from Vermont to Santa Cruz boast versions of do-gooding curricula, degrees in activism are hard to come by.
		While McAvoy concedes that "you don't need a degree to be an activist," he and others hope the program's mix of the theoretical and the practical -- an internship at a nonprofit -- will provide some context for new activists.
		After completing the 36-unit master's course, she may go on to law school, with the hope of doing a lot of pro bono work.

		CAMBRIDGE -- Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, one of the high court's most conservative justices, told a packed forum in one of the nation's most liberal cities that the courts have strayed into a realm of judicial activism that is ultimately bad for democracy.
		In a wide-ranging talk at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government last night, Scalia told about 400 students that issues such as capital punishment, abortion, and physician-assisted suicide should be matters for voters, not judges.
