In Epstein's view, these libertarian freedoms are not only defensible as a matter of political philosophy but are also protected by the United States Constitution

Well gee golly gosh, he found the 5th Amendment! Stop the presses!

Today, the conventional wisdom among liberal and conservative legal thinkers alike is that Lochner was decided incorrectly and that the court's embrace of judicial restraint on economic matters in 1937 was a triumph for democracy

But oddly enough, liberals don't have a problem at all with finding new substantive due process "fundamental rights" in civil liberties. Only economic substantive due process is evil.

Funny piece, lots of stuff to scare children in Central Park West and the Village.
