Democracy demands that judges confine themselves to a narrow sphere of influence - that is why the late Alexander Bickel called the judiciary the 'Least Dangerous Branch.' In a world governed by a proper conception of their role, judges don't play at being legislators - they leave that job to our elected representatives.

Die Demokratie verlangt, dass sich die Richter auf einen engen Einflussbereich beschränken - deshalb nannte der verstorbene Alexander Bickel die Justiz als "Least Dangerous Branch". In einer Welt, die von einer richtigen Vorstellung ihrer Rolle beherrscht wird, spielen Richter keine Gesetzgeber - sie überlassen diese Aufgabe unseren gewählten Vertretern.

The Supreme Court's most conservative Justices have presented themselves as great respecters of precedent and opponents of 'judicial activism' - of judges using the Constitution to strike down laws passed by the elected branches of government. If they are true to those principles, they should uphold rent control.

We often represent God to ourselves as being able to draw from non-being a world without sorrows, faults, dangers - a world in which there is no damage, no breakage. This is a conceptual fantasy and makes it impossible to solve the problem of evil.

You know, my dad served in the President's Cabinet after his time as a governor. He told me he enjoyed being governor a lot more. Now, I understand why. If I do my job well, I can make a difference in people's lives and I can help our children realize their dreams.
