Supreme Court Child Rape Decision
Good quote from Instapundit.
Yet the Court shouldn’t talk about following a “national consensus” on an issue on which in 1997 only 31% of the American public agreed with the Court and 65% of the public opposed the Court’s view. The justices should admit that they follow ELITE opinion, not the views and morality of the ordinary public. If they can’t go that far, they should at least stop preaching to us about a “national consensus” that is little more than a fig leaf for their own (often quite reasonable) policy preferences.
Indeed, it’s nuts to suggest that there’s some sort of consensus with these sorts of numbers.
If you can stomach, have a look around at what this guy did – it’s horrific in the extreme. But that doesn’t stop the liberal media trying to make it look like he might be innocent.
