论反司法审查观的“民主解药”

The Anti-Judicial-Review Advocates' Democracy

反对司法审查的学者分别从规范体系、实证经验和因果关系的角度论证司法审查制度的不合时宜。在此基础上,他们提出通过民主来保障人权。虽然民主被官方所认可且有较强的可接受性,并在一定程度上被践行,但以民主观反对司法审查的论者并没有对民主进行清晰的界定,也没有对如何实现民主、如何证明民主的效用、实行民主的成本与收益提出建设性观点。他们理论试错的态度和行为值得肯定,但他们在反对把司法审查当作"最后一根救命稻草"的时候,有意无意地把民主也当作了"最后一根救命稻草"。

The scholars who oppose judicial- review dismissed it from the aspects of the system of rules, the experi- ence and the relation between cause and effect. They suggest realizing human rights through democracy. But they did not provide constructive ideas of how to supply the exact concept of democracy, how to realize democracy and measure the utili- ty and cost of democracy. Their attitude of try and error is acceptable, but they regard democracy as the last straw when they objected the point of regarding the system of judicial review as the last straw.
