He is to draw his inspiration from consecrated principles. He is not to yield to spasmodic sentiment, to vague and unregulated benevolence. He is to exercise a discretion informed by tradition, methodized by analogy, disciplined by system, and subordinated to the primordial necessity of order in the social life."[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution-conan/article-3/section-2/clause-1/limitations-on-the-exercise-of-judicial-review#fn796art3[/URL]</blockquote>
