"In the utilities, tax and economic
regulation cases, there are good reasons for
judicial self-restraint if not judicial deference to
legislative judgment. The legislature after all
has the affirmative responsibility. The Courts
have only the power to destroy, not to
reconstruct. When these are added to the
complexity of economic regulation, the
uncertainty, the liability to error, the
bewildering conflict of the experts, and the
number of times the judges have been
overruled by events, self-limitation can be
seen to be the path to judicial wisdom and
institutional prestige and stability".
