An 'activist judge' is a judge whose personal opinions and passions cause them to make rulings in favour of their own personal opinion as opposed to the rules of law.
However, generally judges, who are called 'activist judges,' are really judges who have made a decision that a politician in power disagrees with vehemently.

Why was US v Nixon an activist decision?
US v Nixon (1974) is often considered an activist decision because the Supreme Court actively intervened in a political matter by deciding that President Nixon must turn over the White House tapes as evidence in the Watergate scandal. The Court's ruling expanded the power of the judiciary by asserting its authority over the executive branch. It is considered activist because it went beyond interpreting the law and made a decision with significant political implications.
