The text discusses the issue of judicial activism and how some federal judges have strayed from the original intent of the Constitution by legislating from the bench. The author agrees that this is a problem and praises judges appointed in the 1980s for their philosophy of judicial restraint and strict interpretation of the Constitution. The author, Dick Armey, expresses belief that this approach will have a positive impact on the interpretation of the law in the long run.
