Justice White and the Law
Stith, Kate
Stith, Kate
Abstract
Let me begin where Justice White began. First, Justice White believed in the law. He believed both in its power and in its legitimacy. His constitutional judgments were rooted in a fundamental premise-that the application of law in a democracy is not something to be feared; rather, the exercise by government of legitimate authority is essential, and welcome, in a free and democratic land.
