Justices Black and Douglas and Chief Justice Stone sought to preserve a role for an activist judiciary in the area of civil liberties (freedom of expression, for example) while Justices Frankfurter and Jackson tried to promote judicial restraint, characterizing judicial activism as antidemocratic.
Black's constitutional law decisions, for example, were driven by the "antihierarchical" ideology he was steeped in as a youthful participant in southern Populism (7).
Thus, Black's absolutist First Amendment textualism arose from the justice's desire both to promote the antihierarchical value of free speech and to circumscribe the power of elite judges.
