• En mi opinión, el presidente del Tribunal Supremo Roberts lo expresó mejor durante sus recientes audiencias de confirmación. Y dijo, y cito: "Los creadores no eran el tipo de personas que, habiendo luchado en una revolución para conseguir el derecho al autogobierno, se sentaran y dijeran: 'Bueno, tomemos todas las cuestiones difíciles que tenemos ante nosotros y dejemos que los jueces las decidan'. Eso habría sido lo más alejado de su mente", sin embargo, me temo que el Tribunal Supremo olvida este consejo.
