    ... The objection to the liberal activists in the courts is not
    their excessive zeal for individual rights, but their tendency to
    create bogus new "rights", which, like bad money, are driving out
    the real ones. ...

  Exactly.  For instance what does it mean to have a 'right to a job'?
Who is compelled to give a job to whom, and who is compelled to pay?
