...Lasch is not knocking his subjects for their naive assessment of human nature, although this charge is implicit in any discussion of Dewey and Deweyites. He raps them on a more basic matter: for their incomplete participation in the revolution in standards and for developing a brand of moral relativism that was constitutionally incapable of taking a stand against the encroachments of power. "The new radicals were torn between their wish to liberate the unused energies of the submerged portions of society and their enthusiasm for social planning, which led in practice to new and subtler forms of repression...
...used to avoid the problem. "Where human feelings are part of the evidence, they cannot be ignored," he explains in Dark Ghetto, continuing, "Where anger is the appropriate response, to avoid the feeling itself . . . is to set boundaries on the truth itself."

The 1926 Passport Act vaguely empowered the State Department to grant passports "under such rules as the President shall designate." But Congress has not specifically empowered the President to impose area restrictions in peacetime. Otherwise, said Zemel, the statute is an unconstitutional delegation of Congress...
