For decades, critics of judicial review have argued that it inhibits the will of the people, expressed through laws and regulations enacted by democratically elected officials. Thus, they contend, it should be used sparingly, or perhaps even not at all. This critique implicitly assumes that the political freedom of the people is best... 2022
Medha D. Makhlouf , Patrick J.
