I'm growing weary of the tiresome assumption that "activist judge" is a negative description. By definition any appellate judge worth his gavel is an "activist judge" because he is often asked to interpret constitutional law. I daresay that one man's "activist judge" is another's "strict constitutionalist." I recommend the following: instead of tossing about meaningless catch phrases, spend more time explaining what you mean, demonstrating why a particular court's decision violates the spirit and intent of the U.S. Constitution.
An "activist" judge is one that overturns precedent, common law, and common sense in his interpretation of the Constitution. In doing this he establishes precedent which is not the job of a judge. A judge is to judge, not create new law. --JWR
