Quotation from Griswold v. Connecticut by Supreme Court of the United States
“Their continued recognition will, however, go farther toward keeping most judges from roaming at large in the constitutional field than will the interpolation into the Constitution of an artificial and largely illusory restriction on the content of the Due Process Clause.”
Griswold v. Connecticut, Opinion of Justice Harlan, concurring in the judgment (U.S. Reports text (Wikisource))
Justice Harlan argues that history, basic values, federalism and separation of powers restrain judges better than confining due process to the Bill of Rights.
