We have a problem with judicial activism in this country.
If Americans loved judicial activism, liberals wouldn't be lying about what it is. Judicial activism means making up constitutional rights in order to strike down laws the justices don't like based on their personal preferences. It's not judicial activism to strike down laws because they violate the Constitution.
You want to know what judicial activism is? Judicial activism is judges imposing their policy preferences on the words of the Constitution.
As Alexander Hamilton said in 'The Federalist Papers,' law is about the exercise of judgment and not will. Judicial activism is best understood as substituting judicial opinion for the command of law. The law is not an infinitely malleable tool.
It is true that there have been excesses of judicial activism.
Of course, conservatives always claim to be against judicial activism.
Out of control judicial activism threatens traditional marriage in America.
Our Parliamentary system has simply failed to meet the challenge of judicial activism.
Liberals attempt through judicial activism what they cannot win at the ballot box.
So the danger of conservative judicial activism has been averted for another year. Stay tuned.
Invalidating laws has absolutely nothing to do with judicial activism. It depends on whether the law is unconstitutional or not. That's really the key point.
Central planning, judicial activism, and the nanny state all presume vastly more knowledge than any elite have ever possessed.
Judicial activism must be lessened, and the judiciary should do its work and let politicians work.
I intend to go right on appointing highly qualified individuals of the highest personal integrity to the bench, individuals who understand the danger of short-circuiting the electoral process and disenfranchising the people through judicial activism.
I consider myself an 'actorvist.' When I say that, what I mean is that I use my art to inform my activism and to be my activism sometimes, but I also use my activism in my art.
Unlike national legal systems, there are precious few avenues to address judicial activism at the WTO. You pretty much have to gain consensus to change the agreements, or simply withdraw from the system. The first is nearly impossible, and the second would be - in the view of many - cataclysmic.
If you start from a belief that the most knowledgeable person on earth does not have even one percent of the total knowledge on earth, that shoots down social engineering, economic central planning, judicial activism, and innumerable other ambitious notions favored by the political left.
