Salt, JRB, Lime: All Saints Day Edition
For this wonderful concoction, you will need one teaspoon of salt, one freshly cut lime wedge, and this quote that I am providing for you. First, lick the salt. Now, read this:
[Supreme] courts ought to be building for the future, providing guidance, structure, stability–instilling confidence in the primacy of the rule of law. But alas, the decisions of such courts, including my own, seem ever more ad hoc and expedient, perilously adrift on the roiling seas of feckless photo-op compassion and political correctness. And we are, by and large, captives of an intellectual world view that is completely antithetical to the kind of substantive limits an authentic historical interpretation of our constitutional traditions would impose. We are committed to doing the right thing. But with only our feelings to guide us, most of the time we cannot figure out what the right thing is.
Janice Rogers Brown
Now (quickly!) bite that lime wedge. Give high fives to any friends in your vicinity, and promise them that the next round is on you.
