The Liberal's Sacred Text

Looking back at the Roberts hearings, Catholic historian James Hitchcock points out an irony of the new justice's "ordeal by ideology:"

"It is especially ironic that those who regard Roe v. Wade as a sacred text are liberals, meaning people who urge us to keep the country moving, constantly changing laws and other things to meet `new needs,' but who are now desperate to protect the status quo on abortion, adopting a stance towards judicial precedents that would have made it impossible to find racial segregation unconstitutional, for example, since earlier precedents had gone the opposite way."
