“Progressives favor the centralization of constitutional authority in the federal courts, and therefore, as they see it, if the courts indeed willfully distorted constitutional history to achieve that goal, so be it. After all, judges are distorting the Constitution for a good cause — in the service of equality, fairness, and justice. Raoul Berger, writing about the role of the Fourteenth Amendment as a platform for the ‘continuing revision of the Constitution under the guise of interpretation,’ notes how the progressive Warren Supreme Court was hailed as ‘keeper of the national conscience.’ Therefore, when conservatives like Thomas Sowell warned about ‘the quiet repeal of the American Revolution,’ progressives saw that not as cause for alarm but as evidence that they are winning.” (10/21/25)
