Ann Coulter: Liberals Use 'Judicial Activism' to 'Invent Rights' Like Gay Marriage and Abortion — VIDEO

In a discussion about Obama's remarks on the Supreme Court and judicial activism, Ann Coulter told FOX News' Sean Hannity that liberals use it to invent rights.

Said Coulter:

"Most of us learn how a bill becomes law and what the supreme court does in grade school. Liberals are often trying to push this idea that judicial review means overturning any act of Congress. Or rather judicial activism. Judicial activism is anything when the Supreme Court doesn’t obey what the constitution says — like when they invent rights to gay marriage or rights to abortion or rights to go free if a specific Miranda warning wasn’t read to them. Normally you get the opposite from liberals, because whatever they can’t get through the process of democracy by having people vote on it, they get five justices on the Supreme Court to announce it’s a constitutional right. You only have judicial activism on the left, never from the conservative justices or they would be fantasizing a constitutional right to a flat tax, to bear nuclear arms."

Sarah Palin Won't Have Terrorist Sticker 'Plastered on [Her] Forehead': VIDEO

Sarah Palin joined Sean Hannity last night, using the debt deal to revive discussion of Bill Ayers and Obama, riffing off an alleged remark by Joe Biden that Tea Party Republicans "acted like terrorists" in debt ceiling negotiations.

The suggestion whipped Palin into a froth:

"Let's call them out on their hypocrisy then Sean, because enough is enough. And I'm not just gonna roll over with a sticker plastered on my forehead that says 'hit me baby, one more time! Call me a terrorist again, call me a racist.' Those things that Tea Party patriots have been called again over these months."

Seven Cable News Shows Cover Bachmann 'Ex-Gay' Clinic, Except for FOX News: VIDEOS

Here's a round-up of the last 18 hours on the cable news shows and their coverage of Michele Bachmann and her husband's "ex-gay" clinic (or not, in the case of Hannity).

The topic that nearly every other cable newser was talking about was not mentioned on FOX. Not a surprise, given the way the network is framing the Bachmann "ex-gay" clinic controversy. As Equality Matters notes, they're painting Marcus Bachmann as the victim!

Unfortunately, as we know too well, the real victims are the uncountable amounts of children whose lives are taken or damaged because of Bachmann's brand of "reparative therapy".

UPDATE: FOX News did cover the Bachmann clinic - they called Truth Wins Out's undercover investigation a "hit piece" on the Bachmanns.

Below, a round-up of the news shows on the issue in the last 24 hours. Thanks to Dave Evans for his work on the clips. Enjoy.

THOMAS ROBERTS: Yesterday on MSNBC, Thomas Roberts talked with Truth Wins Out's Wayne Besen today about the not-going-away controversy over Marcus Bachmann's "ex-gay" clinics.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Truth Wins Out's Evan Hurst and The Daily Beast's Michelle Goldberg appear on Hardball. Matthew rips the Bachmanns over the issue, says they're not living in the real world.

ANDERSON COOPER: Anderson talks about the Bachmann clinic and "ex-gay" therapy with Dr. Drew Pinsky and Jim Acosta.

THE ED SHOW: Ed talks with undercover activist John Becker.

LAWRENCE O'DONNELL: Talks with Truth Wins Out's Wayne Besen, asks, "hasn't every hardcore anti-gay Republican been revealed to be gay?"
