what / frequently said publicly
thereon while I was Il justice OF
the Supreme Court, and since.
Yes, they do an d h a Y G
q one so for a on G
time. But this is nothing new.
In all ages. and pretty much
e,eryWhere, the courts have tried
to apply their legal rules OF
thumb to social. cOnlMercial and
economic matters. always with
signal failure, and generally with
in;ury to industry, commerce
and the so, .ial gOOu.
Nothing is more distressing
than to see a bench Of Judges,
old men, as rule. set themselves
avalnst the manifest and enlight-
enec will Of the community in
matters of social. economic OF
cOmnerclai progress. The same
| is true ir matters o. morals and
religious growth also. Jesus
Socrates. and many who CAME
after them, age after age, fet
victims to judicial narroWmind
| -0t.ass. But the adverse deci
sions or courts have not beer
able to stop siuman progress
Sometimes they battle it for tht
! time being. Sometimes, by ere
ating exasperatlon in the lntelli
gent mind. they accelerate it
+. Not to quote other instances, th'
decision IT the United State:
Supreme Court demanding th'
negro boy Dred Scott back mt
hunan slavery only hastened th'
coming liberation oJ the slave.
