Terence Gross Speaks Out on Judicial Activism Over WCOA Radio Show

Fort Walton Beach, Fla. – Highly-experienced personal injury lawyer, Terence Gross of Gross & Schuster, P.A, recently spoke over the WCOA Radio Show on how judicial activism is affecting the country.

With the election finished, plenty of individuals feel the need to voice their concerns over the state of legislation in the US. Some result to judicial activism, an issue that will become more and more relevant as our country continues to deviate from our origins. Modern judicial activism stems from a disagreement over laws first introduced after our country’s founding. The personal injury lawyer in Fort Walton Beach, FL, claims that these disagreements only end with an even more dilapidated justice system.

Gross said, “A lot of judicial activism comes from the heads of office arguing over how to discern our constitution. Some believe the documents should be strictly adhered to while others believe in a rougher translation.”

Sometimes lawmakers put their personal political agenda above constitutional legislation. This causes political discord, as it shoves an opinion over the federal law of the land.

The reason this type of activism remains such a prominent topic, is because our constitution did not take into account the changes the world would undergo. For example, our founding fathers did not know automobiles would exist, let alone how to classify them as an extension of property. However judicial activism shouldn’t always be a negative term. Some activism aims to better pre-existing laws. The car accident lawyer in Fort Walton Beach, FL, expresses that the goal of activism should be to unite the country, not divide it.

“It’s hard to get two politicians to agree on anything,” Gross said. “Our focus should be on mending wounds and preventing further conflicts.”
