Should judges be permitted to make decisions based on extralegal factors? What kinds of limits should be imposed on judicial decision-making? Are more limits needed?

What will be an ideal response?


Judges decisions can sometimes be influenced by personal ideology, election considerations, pubic opinions, strategic considerations, and consensus-seeking.
Limits include having decisions limited to actual controversies, limiting ability to answer political questions, not having the ability to rule on the wisdom of legislation, and when overturning laws they must be on the narrowest grounds.
