Unleash the Judges

The libertarian case for judicial activism

Judicial activism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "The phrases 'judicial activism' and 'activist judges' in the United States, Australia, Canada and other countries with common law systems, are political epithets that refer to judges who are alleged to exceed their jurisdiction. A judge is considered activist when he or she uses the power of judicial review to overturn laws or articulate new legal principles without sufficient precedent, especially for purposes of shaping government policy."
