Government Unchecked: The False Problem of “Judicial Activism” and the Need for Judicial Engagement

IJ Senior Attorneys Clark Neily and Steve Simpson discuss the new Center for Judicial Engagement report called Government Unchecked: The False Problem of “Judicial Activism” and the Need for Judicial Engagement.

They answer the questions: Is the U.S. Supreme Court running roughshod over the other branches of government?  Is it true, as outgoing Sen. Arlen Specter claimed, that the Court “has been eating Congress’s lunch by invalidating legislation with judicial activism”?  According the report, the answer is emphatically no.
