1. You obviously don't care too much about stare decisis either if you don't like the "right of privacy". Did the decision in Griswold bother you as well? Do you feel the same way about the Texas sodomy decision?

2. Why aren't you bothered by the "unitary executive" theory? Do you think a President should have the right to torture enemy combatants, for example, if, in the exercise of his discretion, he believes it advantageous to do so? Even if doing so violates Federal law or a duly approved international treaty -- like the Geneva Convention?

3. Sure, you heard some calls for a filibuster. You'll hear just about anything on a blog this size. I also heard Ann Coulter say someone should poison Justice Stephens. Should we take that seriously too?

Do you think it would be a good thing if Roe were overturned? Where do you draw the line on the power of the "unitary executive"?
