Abstract
We yearn for blind and disembodied Justice. Yet we also expect and quietly hope that in the end, in a vital case, a great Justice will let the mask slip just a bit. We expect the Court to be tough and neutral and above the fray-but we also want it to come through in the crunch. In other words, we assign to the court the Bogart role in "Casablanca."
