How do judicial advocates for restraint and activism use the power of the judicial branch to make policy?
Q. How do judicial advocates for restraint and activism use the power of the judicial branch to make policy? Is there any example?
Asked by hinangel - Wed Nov 21 03:05:52 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The judiciary cannot, by design, make policy. Policy, however, is open to interpretation and such interpretation is the role of the judiciary. Any interpretation that runs contrary to the preferred interpretation of any particular interest may be cited as an example of "the judicial branch making policy". That is the prerogative of the interest; there is no objective measure. This question is as leading as the (absurd) argument of intelligent design. Your bias is shamelessly obvious.

A. If you want to see some really big stuff, you're a week too early! There's a Funk the War march on March 19, and a march on the Pentagon on March 21. However, since you're going to be there too early, check around the White House. There's usually always some sort of activism happening on the block of Pennsylvania Avenue right in front of the White House, and there's been an anti-nuclear protest going on for the last 27 years there.

A. Nonprofits do need people with MAs in Clinical Psychology, but don't make yourself miserable if that's not what you want to study. Think tanks tend to want people with a doctorate and a great deal of research experience and articles published in academic journals. Lobbying groups prefer people with legal degrees or public policy degrees. Just like the for-profit world, different nonprofit jobs require different levels of work experience and academic degrees. A communications assistant isn't going to need to have the same experience or credentials as a counselor, or a communications director of a five-person communications department.

Asked by 12 Syllogisms - Tue Jun 2 10:00:55 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Unfortunately, it is likely to fail. It is simply a reiteration of what is already in the constitution, and doesn't actually say anything new. Since the federal government is currently violating the 10th amendment, re-stating that there is a law, even if the bill succeeds, will accomplish nothing. Also, since many state governments are dependent on federal assistance, especially with the current economy, there is not much political demand for such a bill. There are also too many politicians who are interpreting it in a negative way because they simply don't understand the constitution. Government tends to see itself as the center of society.

Q. How is the present activism by more than 30 States to regain the 10th Amendment likely to succeed or fail?
Asked by 12 Syllogisms - Tue Jun 2 10:00:55 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Unfortunately, it is likely to fail. It is simply a reiteration of what is already in the constitution, and doesn't actually say anything new. Since the federal government is currently violating the 10th amendment, re-stating that there is a law, even if the bill succeeds, will accomplish nothing.

A. One of the principal roles of the Social Worker is to advocate on behalf of their client. This is not diametrically opposed to Political Activism, there are many avenues to advocate in the interest of the client, some Social Workers become involved in Policy Making, others become involved in the creation of legistation and others may opt to become political activists. The traditional approach of working through the beauracracy and eventually, hopefully achieving some kind of benefit for the client is being re-evaluated by younger Social Workers. In fact when I studied most of my classmates went on to become policy makers or did additional degrees in related fields such as law, project management, etc. I myself not being inclined to make a… [cont.]

A. You will not find a direct tie or linkage between "celebrity" activism and political process or policy change. (I was smack in the middle of the 60's). You will only find indirect linkages. It was uncommon and unacceptable in general for celebrities to cross over and out of their professional people to speak out on an issue. Why? They had no credibility in almost every case. Where celebrity activism had its greatest influence was in music and arts. Major political issues of the time (war, racism, sexism, education, equal opportunity) became central topics surrounding middle America and the college age youth of America in television, news, music, and theatre. This change was fostered and led by musicians, lyricists, and… [cont.]
