Reply #37: My take on judicial activism

[Yupster]

A court has the right to rule a law unconstitutional. They may be right or wrong in my opinion, but that is their right.

However, a court does not have the right to write a law. That is judicial activism.

For example, a court could rule a state's legislative districts to be unconstitutional. However, if the court then presents its own map, in my opinion, they are writing a law, which is not the role of the judiciary. They are taking the legislature's job.

This comes up in many different areas.
