Judicial activism is an activity wherein the court creates a government power that isn't mentioned or authorized by the Constitution. Any time the court, or courts, act to remove power from government; from itself or the two other branches, it is not judicial activism, it is in fact the primary purpose for which the court was intended in the first place.

And so you're clear on my remarks as I wrote way way before. The NYT co won't be charged. The leaker will.

Just so you're not further confused the Executive and Legislative branches are beyond Judicial activism in theory.
No, that's certainly not true, if you want to know the purpose of the Supreme Court read the Federalist Papers, they tell everything.

Judicial activism in Hamdan is your cup of tea. It's a perfect rallying point for those against the war on terror and presidential critics. If left as is the Hamdan decision legitimizes their holy war. Congratulations.
Again, anytime the court acts to restrain government that act most certainly is not judicial activism.
