Another critic, law professor Laurence H. Tribe, argues that Ely's approach would strip judges of power to review much legislation that could deny men real rights. And Archibald Cox, Loeb University Professor, takes issue with Ely's reading of history. To Cox, Ely's otherwise excellent work ignored the Constitution's natural rights heritage..one that should allow judges to nullify legislation that clashes with America's timeless values--no matter how pure the process that brought about the legislation...
...interestingly, Cox has an answer for those who would call Ely's advocacy of judicial self-restraint a cover for conservatism. The former Watergate special prosecutor notes that Ely's idol is Earl Warren--to whom Democracy and Distrust is dedicated and that in lionizing the Warren Court.

We, on our way to Moscow, were not to know what a fateful day Oct. 20 was for the presidency: Special Prosecutor Cox refused to accept summaries of the Nixon tapes reviewed by Senator Stennis; he wanted the tapes themselves; he rejected Nixon's order that he renounce the right to subpoena further documents. Nixon forced a showdown by sacking Cox, which led to the resignation of Attorney General Elliot Richardson and the firing...
