I want to thank you for a great discussion. I am chuckling to myself because after re-reading through our whole conversation it seems to me that our views diverge in only one important area. You believe that judicial activism is always wrong as a matter of principle. I have argued, in effect, that judicial activism is permissible, only as long as they make the right decision! HA!!!!! I think that's funny. This has certainly given me a lot to think about vis-a-vis the pragmatism versus passion debate. Thanks for helping me see that.

You’re welcome.

There are pragmatic reasons for idealism … and for following the rules.

If you win, you will be perceived to be in the right.

If you lose, you will not be despised.
