Spells, Not Liberalism
Noted Observer Terms Appointment of Senator

worth anything unless he shared the
Senator's social and political views.
What Is the function of the Su-
preme Court, and what qualities Of
mind and spirit should characterize
its judges! Let us not ask conserva-
tives. Let us turn to eminent and
famous liberals. Says Justice Car
dozo, answering the first question in
his brilliant and beautiful little book,
THE Function OF the Judicial Pro-
cess:
The utility Of an external power,
restraining legal judgment is not to
be measured by counting the occasions
Of its exercise. The great ideals of
liberty and equality are preserved
against the assaults Of opportunism,
the expediency of the passing hour,
the erosion of small entertainments,
the scorn and derision which have
no patience with general principles,
by enshrining them in constitutions,
and consecrating to their protection
body of defenders. BY conscious or
subconscious influence, the presence
Of this power, aloof in the back
ground . tends to stabilize and
rationslize the legislative judgment,
to infuse it with the glow of principle
to hold the standard aloft and visible
for those who must run the race and
keep the faith"
Doubts Preservation Of Ideals.
Somehow I can't see Senator Black
preserving great ideals against the
erosion of small entertainments, or
being consecrated to the defense Of
, anything except his leaders policy, or
infusing that with any glow of prin-
ciple"
And who should be chosen as judges?
Prof. Frankfurter approvingly quotes
Judge Learned Hand, in his essay on
the Supreme Court In the Encyclo-
pedia of Social Sciences:
The spirit, and culture, and in
sight which should be possessions
have been stated by Judge Learned
Hand:
"I venture to believe that it is
as important TO judge, called upon
to pass on questions OF constitutional
law. to have at least a bowling &C
quaintance with Acton and Maitland,
with Thucydides Gibbon and Car
lyle, with Homer, Dante, Shakespeare
and Milton, with Machiavelli, Mon
talgne and Rabelais, with Bacon
Hume and Kant. as with the books
which have been specifically written
on the subject. For in such matters
everything turns on the spirit with
which he approaches the questions
before him Men do not gather
figs from thistles nor supple institu-
tons from judges whose outlook is
limited by parish or class"
Highest Civilian Honor.
Appointment to the Supreme Court
is the highest civilian honor which
this country can bestoW on any
of her citizens. Learning, humanity,
serenity, humility, love for principles
and conservation to them-these are
the virtues which it ought to reward
