Breve nota final
En un voto particular de quien quizá sea el
juez norteamericano más referenciado, por no
usar otros adjetivos más pomposos, que también
tendrían cabida –y esto, viniendo del país de la
creación jurisprudencial del derecho–, Oliver
Wendell Holmes, JR., en la sentencia Jacob
Adams v. United States, dejó escrito:
«Pero cuando los hombres se den cuenta
de que el transcurso del tiempo ha trastocado
muchas fes por las que luchar, pueden llegar
a creer incluso más que en las raíces de su
propia conducta, que el supremo fin deseado
se alcanza mejor a través del libre mercado de
las ideas; que la mejor evidencia de la verdad
es el poder del pensamiento para ser aceptado
en la competición del mercado; y la verdad es
la única base sobre la que sus deseos pueden
ser llevados a término con seguridad».
A pesar de ser una frase lejos del prosaís-
mo jurídico propio del pensamiento anglosajón,
mucho más práctico, puede ser un buen colofón
