Re on the Warren Court (and Today's)

Richard M. Re, Harvard Law School, has posted To a Conservative Warren Court, a draft of his Foreword to the HLR issue on the Supreme Court:

Ideological conflict has masked an underlying continuity in the American legal system. In recent years, the Supreme Court -- while obviously subject to fierce criticism -- has been doing its part to preserve the rule of law, as distinct from partisan politics. That was true in the Warren Court era and remains true today.
