His description of the manner
in which the Supreme Court
functions in civil liberty cases
is realistic and clear. The court's
task is not an easy one—it is
constantly faced ,with the prob-
lem of weighing Competing com-

munal values"the claim of the
eitizen to the free development
and expression of his individu-
ality" on the one hand, and "the
claim of the goVernment to re-
strain that development and ex-
pression in the interests of the
common good" on the other
hand. The Court must strike a
balance of interests between the
rights of the individual and the
rights of society. There are no
"absolute" liberties.
