Slouching Toward Bethlehem with the Ninth AmendmentWilliam W. Van AlstyneWilliam & Mary Law School 1981 Yale Law Journal, Vol. 91, p. 207, 1981 William & Mary Law School Research Paper No. 09-158 Abstract: This review discusses Charles Black’s work “Decision According to Law”, which examines the tendency and the means used by activist judges to provide fair decisions through the use of more flexible principles of Constitutional law. While Black’s writing style is both informative and powerful, his original thesis regarding the Ninth Amendment acting as Congressional endorsement of the courts’ activist role is uncompelling and poorly supported.
