Some have tried to depict Justice Holmes as someone who saw no need for morality in the law. On the contrary,he said: "The law is the witness and external deposit of our moral life." But a society's need to put moral content into its laws did not mean that it was the judge's job to second-guess the moral choices made by others who were authorized to make such choices.
By the looks of the potential appointees, I wonder if any of them even know what morals are...seriously.
