I don't deny the fact that there are actual instances of judges legislating from the bench. I can't deny that the left doesn't use the phrase too. But since Bush, McCain etc started flying that term around in regards to marriage equality, a lot of conservatives have been using it in lockstep. It's a blanket, catch-all phrase that has been used to discount court findings that say, hey they do deserve the same treatment. When several courts in different states are deciding the same thing, shouldn't that mean something? No, let's just label their findings as that, it's easier to dismiss that way. When a group is sleeping in the same bed with these rigid churches and religious organizations then decides to discount the courts, I find that dangerous.
