Judicial restraint is important because without it courts will be tempted to rewrite laws through interpretation rather than simply to confirm or reject the constitutionality of a law. When a court rejects the constitutionality of a law, it should not attempt to fix the problem, rather it should remand the matter back to Congress for revision. Unfortunately for justice, courts often fail to enact constitutionally mandated restraint.
