Robert Bork has said that the single greatest handicap Conservatives face when important cases reach the Court is that Conservative judges such as Scalia, Rehnquist and Kennedy are almost always unwilling to throw out bad precedent, no matter how badly ruled, meritless in substance and capricious the precedent might be. Liberal judges have no such hesitation or respect for legacy. So, the good precedents get overturned and the bad precedents are accepted as an accomodation. We continue to lose ground case by case.

" So, the good precedents get overturned and the bad precedents are accepted as an accomodation. We continue to lose ground case by case."

And this parallels what I said about waging war as gents with the likes of socialism. It's as if the democrats are running through the woods with heavy artillery and our side is armed with badminton rackets and birdies. We will lose everything the founders fought for if we don't recognize we have to pick up equivalent or better artillery and if we don't recognize there are some rotten eggs within our side as well.
