Science is not conservative or liberal... The factions on either side of the issue were moral conservative versus moral liberal and the issues go much deeper than the MSM suggest or the moral liberal attest to. This was not about attempting to restrict science it was about taking the muzzle off religion... Objectively this decision goes against the moral conservatives... As far as being profound -this is but another skirmish in a culture war and this battle may have been lost but the war is far from over -we are breeding! LOL
I didn't say that the science was conservative. I said that this decision was conservative, in response to posters such as Sybeck1 who try and paint this as some sort of repressive or activist judge.
