Consider this as you ponder the debate on Federal Judges who position
themselves as Strict Constructionists (originalist) v. Judicial
Activists. Judicial activism gave us - Weeks v. United States,
Wolf v. Colorado, Mapp v. Ohio, Terry v. Ohio, Florida v. J.L., Miranda
v. Arizona, Dickerson v. United States, Escobedo v. Illinois and Gideon
v. Wainwright. If you don't understand these
criminal law precedents,
then maybe you should not participate in the aforementioned debate.
