The Constitutional Role of Judges

C-SPAN broadcast this video of two US Supreme Court Justices giving evidence to the Senate Judiciary Committee about the role of judges. It is a very important issue to be thinking about. In the UK Judges has recognised the principle of "Parliamentary Sovereignty", in which they have recognised that their role is to interpret, but not overrule what Parliament has decided.

I hope that you would use this video to reflect on the role that the judiciary can, and should play.
