Guess the Author

of the following passage:

The judge’s proper task is not mechanical. “History,” Cardinal Newman reminded us, “is not a creed or a catechism, it gives lessons rather than rules.” No body of doctrine is born fully developed. That is as true of constitutional law as it is of theology. The provisions of the Constitution state profound but simple and general ideas. The law laid down in those provisions gradually gains body, substance, doctrines, and distinctions as judges, equipped at first with only those ideas, are forced to confront new situations and changing circumstances.

Pick from the following list:

a) William Brennan
b) Sonia Sotomayor
c) Samuel Alito
d) Robert Bork
e) Laurence Tribe
