Greenhouse

'There are few blessings to be found in today’s Washington, but maybe the embrace of judicial “engagement” will prove to be one, by sending the charge of “judicial activism” into political retirement. Or imagine this: that a nominee, ducking a senator’s question, instead of blathering about how the issue might come before the court sometime during the century, will smile sweetly and say, “Sorry, I can’t answer that. I’m engaged.”'
