Judicial Activism- A judicial philosophy in which judges make bold policy decisions, even charting new constitutional ground.
Judicial Restraint- A judicial philosophy in which judges play minimal policy making roles, leaving that strictly to the legislatures.
What do you guys think?
There should be no such thing as judicial activism. A judge's job is to rule based on the best understanding of the Constitution, based on the intent of the founding fathers. That's literally a judge's job. If they are stepping outside of the philosophy of originalism they should be fired.
