No, a judge cannot raise and argue an affirmative defense in a case. The role of a judge is to remain impartial and ensure that the law is applied fairly, while the responsibility for presenting affirmative defenses lies with the parties involved in the case, typically the defendant. Judges may, however, guide the proceedings and clarify legal standards for the parties.
In language, the affirmative expresses a statement that confirms or asserts something to be true, such as "The sky is blue." In contrast, the negative denotes denial or contradiction, indicating that something is not true, exemplified by "The sky is not blue." These two forms allow for the clear expression of agreement and disagreement, as well as the nuanced communication of ideas and emotions.

A denial does just that it denies the Plaintiff's allegations and the burden of proof is still on the Plaintiff to prove the prima facie case.An affirmative defense does not deny the allegations but asserts a defense that would negate the legal effect of the Plaintiff's cause of action. The burden of proof in an affirmative defense is on the Defendant.An example would be a breach of contract case. The Plaintiff claims that he had a contract with the Defendant, and Defendant did not perform the contract. A denial would say "We never had a contract" and the Plaintiff would have to prove the existence of a contract. An affirmative defense would say "Yes, we had a contract, but that was 20 years ago thus the action is barred by the 10 year statute of limitations." Then the burden of proof is on the Defendant to show that the contract falls outside of the statute of limitations period.
The burden of proof for an affirmative defense is the responsibility of the defense.
