Interesting Perspective from Cato Institute

By DanCT Posted in Comments () / Email this page » / Leave a comment »

Roger Pilon, director of Cato's Center for Constitutional Studies, thinks that the Democrats will lose this battle over whether the courts should make public policy pronouncements, as opposed to being more restrained. Then the battlefield will shift "to the question whether the courts will give us the democratic constitution the New Deal Court invented, or the constitution of liberty the Founders set in motion. That will be one to watch." He claims that in the fight between conservative and liberal, conservative will win; and then there'll be a fight between conservative and libertarian (e.g., Priscilla Owen vs. Janice Rogers Brown).
