Rather than seeing themselves as the arbiters of divine precepts, Supreme Court justices after World War II generally understood that constitutional jurisprudence must respond to the realities of the day. Yet today's conservatives have seized on the legacy of one of the few justices who did not.

伦敦——随着英国脱欧谈判进入到最后阶段,最有可能的结果是双方陷入僵局。这是个好消息。这并不意味着英国将在达不成协议的情况下脱欧失控:欧盟往往会拖到最后一刻才能达成交易。但英国议会可能会拒绝特雷莎·梅首相千方百计与欧盟领导人谈判所达成的任何安排,而最有可能打破僵局的方法则是举行一次新的公投 ,重新思考离开欧盟的决策。
直到不久前,传统智慧还认为这种可能性绝不存在。但现在,可能导致再次公投和取消英国脱欧的政治机制正在变得清晰起来。
