It is encouraging when one sees justices who are willing to "go along" with the rule of law even when they don't like it, simply because it's what the law says. Unfortunately, such justices seem to be an increasingly endangered species.

I am much happier with a judge who votes to uphold a law he/she doesn't like than I am with a judge who votes the way I'd like to see if they are voting that way because of personal belief/agenda rather than because that's what the law says.
