Indeed, as the history of the past three decades has shown, it is today's devotees of «negative liberty» as reinterpreted
by postmodern radical skeptics and relativists who are the primary exponents of
coercion in the name of «tolerance» and «diversity» — even if that
coercion is
mediated through split decisions of the United States Supreme Court.
What one party may see as a strength of the med - arb process (the power and leverage of the med - arbiter during mediation) may be viewed
by another as a flaw (power that too often results in pressure tactics and «
coercion» of a
mediated settlement).
