I don't think the Constitution is studied almost anywhere, including law schools. In law schools, what they study is what the court said about the Constitution. They study the opinions. They don't study the Constitution itself.

Being 'at the mercy of legislative majorities' is merely another way of describing the basic American plan: representative democracy.

The right to procreate is not guaranteed, explicitly or implicitly, by the Constitution.

When a judge assumes the power to decide which distinctions made in a statute are legitimate and which are not, he assumes the power to disapprove of any and all legislation, because all legislation makes distinctions.

Americans revere both the Constitution and an independent Court that applies the document's provisions. The Court has done many excellent things in our history, and few people are willing to see its power broken. The difficulty with all proposals to respond to the Court when it behaves unconstitutionally is that they would create a power to destroy the Court's essential work as well.

Once the justices depart, as most of them have, from the original understanding of the principles of the Constitution, they lack any guidance other than their own attempts at moral philosophy, a task for which they have not even minimal skills.

The combination of absolute power, disdain for the historic Constitution, and philosophical incompetence is lethal.

Senators now demand that nominees state positions,

Only 1.5 Percent of Law Professors Sign Letter Opposing Roberts.

The conventional wisdom right now is that John Roberts will be confirmed just as the conventional wisdom in 1987 going into the hearings was that Robert Bork would be confirmed, ... You never know what's going to happen at a hearing. I think that's been demonstrated time and again.

[Roberts has always been popular and has always been the] big man on campus. ... I can fend for myself on the way down.

I don't know if [the Democrats] can pull a filibuster on a Supreme Court nominee. That would be very unpopular, I think, with the American people. I think they would be in trouble.

move the court slightly to the left.

My guess would be he will not participate in creating new constitutional rights

a disaster on every level.
