What is a “liberal judge”?

Per the LA Times…

“Keeping Faith With the Constitution,” a 2009 book that he co-wrote, discusses the shortcomings of “originalism,” a conservative legal theory maintaining that the Constitution should be interpreted based on its 18th century framers’ intent. Progressive judges tend to see the Constitution as a living document, shifting with the times, and to validate rights that they see as logical extensions of it.

In short, to validate rights that they, the unelected judiciary, “see fit”.

Silly me. I thought we had a legislature for that.
