“No society, certainly not a large and heterogeneous
one, can fail in time to explode if it is deprived of the arts of compromise,
if it knows no ways of muddling through.”— Constitutional law expert Alexander
M. Bickel (1924-1974), The Least Dangerous Branch: The Supreme Court at the Bar of Politics (1962)
I took the photo accompanying this post two years
ago, on a vacation down to DC. No matter how dysfunctional I thought Capitol
Hill then, it’s nothing like now.
