of the following passage:
The judge's proper task is not mechanical. "History," Cardinal
Newman reminded us, "is not a creed or a catechism, it gives
lessons rather than rules." No body of doctrine is born fully
developed. That is as true of constitutional law as it is of
theology. The provisions of the Constitution state profound but
simple and general ideas. The law laid down in those provisions
gradually gains body, substance, doctrines, and distinctions as
judges, equipped at first with only those ideas, are forced to
confront new situations and changing circumstances.
Pick from the following list:
a) William Brennan
b) Sonia Sotomayor
c) Samuel Alito
d) Robert Bork

[2]d) Robert Bork. Source: The Tempting of America at 352.
