In 2018, Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, who was appointed by President
Donald Trump, sided against the Trump administration in a major immigrant
deportation case. His ruling came as a surprise to some observers, since an
immigration crackdown had been the Trump campaign and presidency's signature
policy issue. Historically, however, it was not unusual, reflecting a tradition of
judicial:
A)expansion, in which even conservative justices end up favoring increases in
judicial power.
B)conservatism, in this case related to preservation of the Constitution's checks
and balances.
C)independence, since justices are more free than leaders of other branches to
pursue their own ideas about what is right.
D)activism, which involves justices consistently striking out in directions different
from those who appointed them.
