Peggy Noonan's opinion
Here.
I wouldn't go as far as she does on the "slippery slope" theory, but the inconsistencies she points out, the liberals fighting for that tube to stay out compared with their activist views in other areas, is interesting.
I'm trying to imagine a death penalty protestor standing up and saying, "Well, the case was appealed in court plenty of times, so I guess that settles it. I'm going home."
