Judicial Restraint = Judicial Activism

A logical proof.

Legislative activism = passage of unconstitutional laws exceeding the limited and enumerated powers of Congress.

Executive activism = issuance of executive orders and agency regulations that exceed the powers of the executive branch.

Judicial restraint = unwillingness of a majority of the Supreme Court (often led by CJ Roberts) to curb legislative and executive activism.

Judicial restraint (in such cases) therefore allows legislative and executive activism and is therefore activist in its effect.
