Excert from article:

For the left, Lawrence v. Texas was in the same category: part of the leftward march of history, and something to be applauded, not criticized. Liberals see the Court's decisions as subject to a one-way ratchet: non-liberal precedents can be overturned, but liberal ones cannot.

Wow! I have been thinking and saying this to folks for at least 10 years. Overturn precedents, but only in a more liberal direction. That is OK.

But the other direction....THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END!

Then you owe royalties to George Will. He said the same thing about Ron Reagan and his first term in office.
