If Robert's is as bright as he seems to be, the timing of these judicial pronouncements during his confirmation hearings won't go unnoticed and should give him pause about the quality of rulings from lessor benches. He may invite judges just like this to pitch a ball of legal issue to SCOTUS and then knock the previous ruling out of the park. At least I hope so.
They call him a strict constitutionalist. No where in the Constitution does it have "The right to murder the innocent". It does have "The right to life" though.
