Constitutional scholars like Harvard's Laurence Tribe and Columbia's Vincent Blasi see a cloaked radicalism in such doctrine. While claiming legitimacy from the founders, they argue, a decision like Dred Scott flouts decades of evolving law and practice--in this case the Missouri Compromise, along with other statutes through which Congress sought to regulate slavery in the territories.

His critics sometimes accuse him of disingenuously twisting history to fit his own views. "Don't forget, Rehnquist is a radical," says Columbia Law School Professor Vincent Blasi. "Nobody since the 1930s has been so niggardly in interpreting the Bill of Rights, so blatant in simply ignoring years and years of precedent."
