To Be True To Its Constitutional Role, The Supreme Court Should Refuse To Be Drawn Into Making Public Policy, And It Should Strike Down Legislation Only When A Clear Constitutional Violation Exists.

Where Utopianism Is Advanced Through Gradualism Rather Than Revolution, Albeit Steady And Persistent As In Democratic Societies, It Can Deceive And Disarm An Unsuspecting Population, Which Is Largely Content And Passive.
