Breyer, who just published "Making Our Democracy Work," a book about the role of the court in American life, outlined his judicial philosophy as one in which the court must take a pragmatic approach in which it "should regard the Constitution as containing unwavering values that must be applied flexibly to ever-changing circumstances."

The problem with this philosophy is that unwavering values cannot be applied flexibly without becoming wavering values that are not values at all.
