“Liberal jurisprudence is a contradiction in terms. Liberalism is hostile to law.”
Theodore J. Lowi (1931–2017) said by 2017 at the latest wikiquote, CC BY-SA 4.0 source
“In brief, law, in the liberal view, is too authoritative a use of authority. Authority has to be tentative and accessible to be acceptable. If authority is to be accommodated to the liberal myth that it is not power at all, it must emerge out of individual bargains.”

“Too much law would obviously be intolerable to scientific pluralist theory. In a vitally important sense, value-free political science is logically committed to the norm of delegation of power because delegation of power is a self-fulfilling mechanism of prediction in modern political science.”
Theodore J. Lowi (1931–2017) said by 2017 at the latest wikiquote, CC BY-SA 4.0 source
“Hostility to law, expressed in the principle of broad and unguided delegation of power, is the weakest timber in the shaky structure of the new public philosophy. This, more than any other single feature of interest-group liberalism, has wrapped public policies in shrouds of illegitimacy and ineffectiveness. This, more than any other feature, has turned liberal vitality into governmental and social pathology.”
