We must not allow law to become the weapon of a power elite. if law is also to remain a texture which is expected to bind this country together. As Justice Felix Frankfurter once so eloquently put it: As judges we are neither Jew nor Gentile. neither Catholic nor agnostic. We owe equal attachment to the Constitution and are equally bound by our judicial operations whether we derive our citizenship from the earliest or the latest immigrants to these shores. As a member of this Court I am not justified in writing my private notions of policy into the Constitution. no matter how deeply I may cherish them or how mischievous I may deem their disregard. One way in which law might be maintained as an impersonally fair force in the world is to insure that it offers places within its profession for people from as many diverse backgrounds as possible.
