That's called "argument from authority".
Guess what? It doesn't support anyone's claim, it means that the four judges were wrong.
The assumption that a test with a disparate racial impact is racially biased and should thus be discarded is illogical and should not be accepted as law by any court. That's not "judicial activism", that's the courts telling the legislators they 're not making any sense.
So it's only judicial activism when you disagree with a ruling. It's ok when you agree. I see, and am not surprised you would think that way.
Note, I firmly believe that if she had thrown out a law saying "legislators are not making any sense here", you would be screaming about judicial activism.
