In my view, the most important part of Powell’s paper is his claim that, by declining to lecture the reader about the proper attributes of a constitutional conscience, I am portraying the conscience and faith of the constitutional decisionmaker ‘in the only truthful manner.‘

Evidence

In my view, the most important part of Powell’s paper is his claim that, by declining to lecture the reader about the proper attributes of a constitutional conscience, I am portraying the conscience and faith of the constitutional decisionmaker “in the only truthful manner.” It is consistent with this view that I should therefore offer the reader a moral choice about undertaking the activity I describe. — Philip Chase Bobbitt, Reflections Inspired by My Critics, 169 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
