How are judicial activism and restraint confused with liberalism and conservatism?
Q. Also, what are some ways that conservatives could use judicial activism and that liberals could exercise judicial restraint?
Asked by bluefirefaerie - Wed Apr 22 14:43:32 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Judicial activism generally is considered to occur when a court rules in a manner that reflects contemporary society and values. Some would say that flexibility was the founding fathers' goal and is an example of the briliance with which the Constitution was worded. It is less political and more interpretive than many would suggest. In contrast, there are constitutional originalists who believe the Constitution should be interpreted according to their belief in what the founders intended when they drafted the Constitution. Naturally, the next question is who's intent and how do we know what their intent really was on any particular issue? Imagine the changes in the past 200+ years that the founders could not have anticipated. … [cont.]

Asked by hinangel - Wed Nov 21 03:05:52 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The judiciary cannot, by design, make policy. Policy, however, is open to interpretation and such interpretation is the role of the judiciary. Any interpretation that runs contrary to the preferred interpretation of any particular interest may be cited as an example of "the judicial branch making policy". That is the prerogative of the interest; there is no objective measure. This question is as leading as the (absurd) argument of intelligent design. Your bias is shamelessly obvious.

How can I make history a meaningful career? How can activism fit in with history?
Q. I really enjoy history and would love to have a more scholarly career. However, it bothers me that a job history doesn't really imply a shaping and changing of the future, while I would like to have a more meaningful effect in working towards positive change. What are your opinions on the relevance of history and how it can be meaningful? Are there are any careers you can think of that would combine history and activism?

Academics who shriek and cast aspersions on everyone who presents arguments which differ from their own. For all the talk of passion, engagement and social justice that exists in the academy, the fact is that most activists make terrible historians. Sure, objectivity is impossible. Progress a delusion.

Judicial Activism: Does the norm itself changes through the interpretation or does it stays the same?
Q. Again with this thema: I beleive that there is no change in the norm itself, since it stays the same, the text stays the same. The active interpretation is what mutates throught time because it changes the meaning, but we cannot say that the norm itself mutates. Do we? I believe that what changes are either the judges or the social values. But the norm is always the same sentence.

A. First, I'm presuming that you're talking about constitutional interpretation (which in some ways is vastly different from either statutory interpretation or evolution of the "common law", where much of the "judicial activism" charges come from.) Certainly the words of the constitution do not change (unless amended). They are fixed in time. Your use of the term "norm" is difficult, though, and targets exactly the problem. What is that "norm"? Is it exactly what the Framers believed the words to be, or is it the _concept_ or _idea_ that the Framers understood that they were granting the people. For example, the constitution proscribes "cruel and unusual punishment." Of course, capital punishment of all sorts (excluding the most… [cont.]

Many areas have clinics or need clinics in both rural and urban areas that are underserved. Within these clinics you could get involved in prevention of the most common and debilitating medical issues that are connected to poverty.

Since the federal government is currently violating the 10th amendment, re-stating that there is a law, even if the bill succeeds, will accomplish nothing. Also, since many state governments are dependent on federal assistance, especially with the current economy, there is not much political demand for such a bill.
