The idea of the supremacy of a "compelling interest" clearly favors the philosophy of arbitrary ruling, case by case. This is the basis of the "rule of men," the basis of tyranny, the basis of the 18th century kings in France, rather than the "rule of law," which guarantees that the law is constant, a necessary precondition to freedom.

Some of the Justices are apparently socialists at heart.
