Sažetak
Author discusses judicial neutrality as an essential element of constitutional liberalism. It is argued that within the tradition of constitutional liberalism the tension between majoritarian democracy and the rule of law is resolved in favor of the latter by agency of judges acting as protectors of values on which constitutional liberalism is based. Since judges are participants of the tradition of constitutional liberalism, they see it as commonsensical and normal. Accordingly, judicial outcomes appear neutral for participants of the same tradition. It may not be the same for participants of other traditions.
