WEBJudicial Activism is when the court strikes down a duly enacted law created by Congress. That is the FORMAL meaning, its descriptive meaning, but in politics, commentators and critics often call a decision to strike down a law “judicial activism” if they don’t like the court’s action. If they do like the court’s decision, they don’t use that term.
