Watching a news program featuring about a PBS special that will be tonight about the Intelligent Design debate, and they have John Jones, the judge who ruled against Intelligent Design, there for an interview. He said the above quote, and all I could think was "That's how the judicial system should work."
And he was a conservative Republican, too, which was the kicker. I actually just made an argument in a paper last week that the right to have same-sex marriage is guaranteed under the 14th Amendment, but given the current state of the legal system I don't think it would win in court. But with more people like this John Jones -- people who actually believe in the Constitution and enforce it regardless of their personal beliefs -- then this country might just be able to move forward again.
