Yes, Judges Should Invalidate Irrational Legislation: A Reply to Greg Weiner
By Evan Bernick, Contributor
Assistant Director at the Institute for Justice
The American Constitution has been called "the most wonderful work ever struck off at a given time by the brain and purpose of man." It was authored by men who had surpassing confidence in the human mind--men who were convinced that people were capable of "establishing good government from reflection and choice," to the end that self-evident truths about human nature, discernible through reason, would be honored in social life.

Create Fixed Judicial Terms to Depoliticize Supreme Court Nominations
By Doug Bandow, Contributor
Contributing writer, policy analyst, one who tilts at windmills
The Constitution gives the Senate the power to advise and consent. That body is empowered to say no as well as yes. And the most important qualification for office is philosophical. Put simply: Does the nominee believe the Constitution means anything apart from the jurists' personal preferences? If not, then the Senate should reject the nomination.
