How do judicial advocates for restraint and activism use the power of the judicial branch to make policy?
Q. How do judicial advocates for restraint and activism use the power of the judicial branch to make policy? Is there any example?
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 was the American spirit reflected in the political activism of its farmers and factory workers ?
Q. heres some backround : During the Glided Ages in the late 19th century politics and big businesses were taking over the United States. Urban industrialization and falling farm prices lead farmers and factory workers to protest against these big business tycoons. American spirit was reflected in the political activism of its farmers and factory workers.

A. Judaical activism is praised by neo-constructionists who feel the court system should use their power to re-define the Constitution to fit new times... fill in any vague areas in the Constitution Judicial Activism is criticized by traditional Constitutionalists who feel creating policy and redefining the Constitution is not the role of the court system... and impairs the Constitutional Amendment system from functioning the way the founding fathers intended The founding fathers wrote the Constitution and an Amendment system for that Constitution...they clearly meant for the Legislation branch of the government to make laws and policies... and the Judicial branch to determine if the laws and policies were consistent with that… [cont.]

A. I think all are important but if there are no protection groups set up i would say the first and most important is Hate Crime Legislation. Of course rights and freedoms are important but first we need to make sure that everyone can walk safely down the street

Why are Rabbis today afraid to talk about politics and social activism?
Q. I grew up in the 1960s and 70s and listened to sermons that meant something. Whether it was about Israel, the Vietnam War, Watergate, MLK, The Iran Hostage crisis, Soviet Jewry etc. And of course there were the typical jewish issues, such as intermarriage, anti-semitism, the Holocaust, etc. Today it seems Rabbis are afraid to discuss important issues or politicize. Why? Where is the social activism in the sermons?
Asked by atomicdoug171 - Wed Sep 17 22:28:16 2008 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Well, speaking as a rabbi, I'm not sure you're right about that as an overall trend. I know that many rabbis will be talking over the coming holidays about the war in Iraq, about health care, about poverty and other "social activism" topics. I will be talking about Israel on Rosh Hashanah. It may be that the rabbi at your shul has been shying away from these issues, but others are not. It is definitely true that sermons receive less attention today than they used to. The formality of the sermon, as a form, is not in keeping with the way people like to communicate these days. ("Yahoo! Answers" might be a good example of what people DO like, these days.) So there is less emphasis on the sermonizing, more emphasis on study, discussion… [cont.]

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? 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.]

A. If you want to see some really big stuff, you're a week too early! There's a Funk the War march on March 19, and a march on the Pentagon on March 21. However, since you're going to be there too early, check around the White House. There's usually always some sort of activism happening on the block of Pennsylvania Avenue right in front of the White House, and there's been an anti-nuclear protest going on for the last 27 years there.
