The way to achieve this impartiality – to free judges to decide cases based on what the law actually requires, and on nothing else – is to ensure that the judiciary is independent, or, put differently, not subject to reprisals for decisions on the bench.
But judicial independence is not an absolute or singular value defining our courts. The principle of judicial restraint is equally important – and it is inextricably linked to judicial independence. At one level, the tension between the two seems inescapable. But there is an important sense in which an independent judiciary and judicial restraint are flip sides of the same coin. Both aim to minimize the influence of extraneous factors on judicial decision-making. A judge must not decide a case with an eye toward public approbation, because whether a particular result is popular is irrelevant to whether it is legally sound. In the same way, a judge must not consult

Explanation:
Lee Harvey Oswald, a soon-to-be assassin, father of 2 children, and a very depressed human being, after hearing of John F. Kennedy's arrival in Dallas to try and win over the state's vote in the 1964 election, brought home a rifle one day and stashed it in his wife's best friend's garage. His wife took one look at the gun and ordered him to leave. Oswald did, but devised a plan to get back into the garage and take back his weapon. After doing so, he planned the rest of his assassination attempt. Then, on November 22, 1963, Oswald took his place in a 6th story window of the Texas School Book Depository. Around 12:30 pm, Oswald fired 4 shots over Dealey Plaza. The motorcade that Kennedy was fatally wounded in raced to Parkland Hospital where Kennedy was pronounced dead at 1:00 pm. Oswald fled the Book Depository and ran all around Dallas trying to avoid suspicion. He was apprehended by police at a movie theater at 1:40 pm. On November 24th, the assassin was assassinated by Jack Ruby as he was being transferred to a county jail. He was rushed to Parkland Hospital, but for the respect of Kennedy, was not given the same hospital room. Oswald could not survive due to massive amounts of blood loss and was pronounced dead at 1:07 pm. He is now buried at Shannon Rose Hill Memorial Park, in Fort Worth, Texas.
