The Ultimate Rule of Law addresses the age-old tension between law
and politics by examining whether the personal beliefs of judges
come into play in adjudicating on issues of religious freedom, sex
discrimination, and social and economic rights. Decisions by the
Supreme Courts of India, Japan, Canada, the United States, Ireland,
Israel, the Constitutional Courts of Germany, Hungary, South
Africa, and the European Court of Human Rights on such
controversial issues as government funding of religious schools,
abortion, same sex marriages, women in the military, and rights to
basic shelter and life saving medical treatment are evaluated and
compared. Beatty develops a radical alternative to the conventional
view that in deciding these cases judges engage in an essentially
interpretative, and thus subjective act, relying ultimately on
their personal beliefs and political opinions. His analysis shows
that it is possible to apply an impartial and objective method of
judicial review, based on the principle of proportionality, which
acts as an ultimate rule of law and is fully compatible with the
ideals of democracy and popular sovereignty. Controversially,
Beatty concludes that although this method of judicial review
originated in the United States, American judges generally appear
to be far less inclined to this conception of constitutional
adjudication than their counterparts in Europe, Africa, and Asia.
