Judicial function in constitutional limitation of governmental power / Frank R. Strong.

Strong identifies two concepts that have evolved for effectuation of limitation: indirect limitations (in which the defining feature is one of checks and balances) and direct limitations (which has its origins in the conviction that there exists a higher law forbidding abuse of mortal power).

520 |a Strong identifies two concepts that have evolved for effectuation of limitation: indirect limitations (in which the defining feature is one of checks and balances) and direct limitations (which has its origins in the conviction that there exists a higher law forbidding abuse of mortal power). The Constitution of 1787 was saturated with indirect limitations, primarily separation of powers in the new federal government and federalism for divided authority between it and the States. The designed function for the Judiciary was to review this fractionation for distortions of it; friction would indirectly reduce thrusts of arbitrary behavior. Judicial Review involved no authority to determine constitutionality. The Bill of Rights of 1791 introduced several direct limitations, mostly procedural. The major substantive provisions were those of the First Amendment and Due Process of the Fifth. Chief Justice John Marshall asserted that the Supreme Court possessed authority to determine, with finality, all portions of the Constitution. Although effectively refuted, the usurpation prevailed and Constitutional Review has been tolerated. The record of the Court's exercise of this function is poor. Especially with direct substantive limitations there have been inexcusable misrepresentations of major guarantees. Some may be attributed to ignorance of constitutional history, but in this century there is growing evidence of intent to disregard that history as irrelevant for today. Thus arises the threat of an Imperial Judiciary, an arrogant and dangerous affront to the design of the Founders for government by consent of the governed. Strong urges major revisions in the Judicial Branch. He proposes two Supreme Courts - one for Judicial Review, the other for Constitutional Review - in response to the differing functions of review. Jurists of the latter would serve for a term of years and their power to determine constitutionality would be reduced to that of Advisory Review where, by genuine interpretation, the Constitution is silent. Amendment would be only by Article V.
