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.]

What is the diffrence of judicial activism and judicial restraint?
Q. Which side would you take the restraint or the activism
Asked by slhs - Mon Dec 1 22:26:42 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Judicial activism means the judge stretches the interpretation of a law or the constitution, perhaps even using his own beliefs about what the law should say. Restraint is the opposite - he restrains himself, sticking strictly to the previous interpretations of the law. Judicial restraint is also known as judicial conservatism.

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?

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.]
