The Law, the Weather, and the Climate

The excellent film On the Basis of Sex is now in cinemas, and covers the trials of Ruth Bader Ginsburg (what a woman) fighting for sexual equality through the courts of the United States.

It included an excellent quote from, she says, jurist Paul Freund:

A Court ought not be affected by the weather of the day, but will be by the climate of the era.

Surely true, but I worry about climate change.
