Excerpt

The questionnaire sent to Alito by the Senate Judiciary Committee contained a judicial activism component. The role of the Federal Judiciary within the Federal Government, and within society, was discussed. The major question was an allegation that the judicial branch would not usurp other branches of government. Most glaringly, is when the judicial branch problem solves rather than grievance resolves, such as we saw in the Terri Schiavo case. It is unknown who put the judicial concerns in the questionnaire.

Rucker told the dinner audience at the Radisson Hotel at Star Plaza in Merrillville that recent “high visibility,” politically charged judicial decisions such as those connected to the 2000 presidential election and the Terri Schiavo case have undermined Americans’ trust in the judiciary.

“Judges should not seek the most popular view but seek to follow the law,” Rucker said.

“To bend to the will of the legislature is and should be called judicial activism,” the judge said. “Unfortunately, some now say it’s activism if they don’t like the ruling.”
