- Title
Sherman Minton: Restraint Against a Tide of Activism.
- Authors
Gugin, Linda C.
- Abstract
The article explores the tenure of Supreme Court Justice Sherman Minton in the U.S. It offers a review of the judicial ranking system in 1978, where Minton is given a failed rating. Moreover, it criticizes that the poll only represents seventy percent of the Justices and rating makers are not provided with standards as basis for the judgment. It states that Minton has the judicial philosophy of self restraint which is fitted at the counter-majoritarian condition in constitutional law. It stresses that the means of Minton for decision making and opinion writing made great effect to the legitimacy of court rulings.
