"As the selected arbiter in social, economic, and political confrontations courts have spoken out on such issues as the rights of the poor, the shelter deprived, the young, the student, the activist, the debtor, the consumer, the conscientious objector, and discrimination against non-whites. Simultaneously called upon to respond favorably to the supporters and opponents of a new ordering of rights and duties judges have been obliged to probe questions dealing with abortion, family planning, sexual morality, forms of sexual behavior, privacy, welfare rights, women's rights, pollution, obscenity, drug addiction, alcoholism, political representation, and the right to criticize public officials.
