Quote of the Day

From Opinion Journal's editorial today about John Roberts:

This strange new liberal respect for precedent -- stare decisis -- is certainly amusing. Liberals are only too happy to embrace Lawrence (overturning state sodomy laws), Roper v. Simmons (banning the death penalty for juveniles) and numerous other decisions that have overturned well-established precedents in order to achieve liberal social policy goals. But when Republican nominees are before the Senate, the left suddenly declares that the only "genuine conservatives" are the kind who endorse all liberal precedents.
