One of the things I really don't understand about liberals is that they make a huge deal about concepts like Rule of Law and Precedent. Then they throw all that out whenever they want. This seems to be pissing Dale Franks off too. Here is a good taste:

This is a microcosm of whole problem with the way the Left views the Courts. They view the Courts as another governing branch, which makes interest in "proper results" and "looking like America" and "making history" important to them. But the Judiciary is not a governing branch. At best, it's a referee for the real governing branches, the executive and the legislative.
