Never Trust a Republican – Part III

"… there’s nothing in my personal views based on faith or other sources that would prevent me from applying the precedents of the Court faithfully under principles of stare decisis."--Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts Jr.
"In this and other ways, The Chief Justice rewrites the history of one of this Court's most important decisions....The Court has changed significantly since it decided School Comm. of Boston in 1968. It was then more faithful to Brown and more respectful of our precedent than it is today. It is my firm conviction that no Member of the Court that I joined in 1975 would have agreed with today's decision."
--Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens
