Reference no: EM133430602

Case Study: There have been many questions regarding judicial lawmaking and the textbook addresses judicial activism and judicial restraint. Some think that the constitution should be interpreted as it was written. Others believe that it is a living document and is flexible and adapts to the times. The Constitution (Article III) does not say much about the Supreme Court other than its Justices will serve for life and they will settle disputes as they arise between people, the states, and the government. View the video clips below and read Article III of the Constitution (a link is provided below.) Address the following questions and thoughts in your first post this week.

Questions:

How much power should the Supreme Court have? Should they be able to decide what freedom of religion means, freedom of speech, unreasonable searches and seizures, etc.?
Should there be term limits for Supreme Court justices or should they continue serving for life? Explain.
Should a judge interpret the Constitution based on the original intent of the founding fathers back in 1787 when it was created and the 1790s when the Bill of Rights was added? OR Should a judge interpret the Constitution to how it fits into today's society and norms? Explain.
Feel free to make any specific comments from any of the video clips that you watch (agreeing or disagreeing with them).
