[edit] What about the non-derogatory term?

It says in the article that usurper is a derogatory term. If so, what is the non-derogatory term for.. erm... an usurper of the throne?

Same meaning. I don't think it is that derogatory. kind of like thief isn't derogatory. Rds865 (talk) 04:39, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV

The lead sentence in the Judicial usurpation section reads, 'The usurpation of political power by a panel of judges is not unique to America's "juristocracy."' If this is not stating a (fairly extreme) point of view, I don't know what is. This article could be made neutral, but it will take some work. --Russ (talk) 13:34, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

I have changed the first sentence in the Judicial usurpation section to a nuetral sentence. J. D. Hunt (talk) 16:55, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sections added by User:Martel,C

  • They are based almost entirely on sources that are not addressing the subject of the article per se, or are not addressing it in connection with the subject of judicial activism, and therefore constitute original research.
  • They obscure the subject of the article with material introduced by an abrupt segue, as described in WP:COATRACK.
  • They give extreme undue weight to a particular point of view, to the extent that it has been expressed by anyone.
  • They are partially cited to a web site of self-published writings, which this user has inappropriately cited in other articles.
  • Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a concordance.

I consider bot edits irrelevant for the purpose of 3RR. I will now remove these sections again, and I hope that other editors will not try to move the goalposts. WillOakland (talk) 02:53, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
