PLS 2001
For its professionalism, the impartiality of its judges and for delivering equal justice
under the law the Federal judiciary of the United States is appreciated all over the world. The US
Court of Justice is an autonomous, national judiciary that offers equal and fair justice within the
constitutional and Congressional jurisdiction. The federal judiciary as a branch of government
protects and strengthens the core principles that the courts represent evolving domestic and
national needs. The core values of the US federal judiciary includes rule of law, excellence,
judicial independence, service, accountability, and equal justice.
The judicial branch of the US government is considered to be the guardian and defender
of civil rights. The vital position of our courts in emergencies is especially significant. In certain
cases, for example, courts can make orders that allow certain public health acts. Courts can also
interfere to prohibit acts on public health which are deemed to interfere unreasonably with civil
rights.
However, a theory has been put forth by the Publius regarding how the federal judiciary
needs to respond in a state of emergency. Judicial activism applies not to current laws, but to
judicial decisions accused of having their foundation on a personal view. This is often used as a
balancing antonym. Controversial political topics are the concept of legal activism and particular
decisions made by activists. Justice advocacy is closely linked to constitutional definition,
legislative construction, and power separation. Barack Obama claimed that an activist judge is
someone, who defied Congress ' will, disregarded democratic procedures and tried to enforce
legal remedies for issues rather than allowing the process to work for itself. The meaning of it is
that any court judge can be an activist. If they are viewed as conservative or liberal does not
matter1.
