Bob Enyart: Samuel Alito, in the year 2000, voted to keep partial birth abortion legal.
Larry Bates: What did his whole ruling say, Bob?
Bob: It said that because of precedent, he must strike down New Jersey's law banning partial birth abortion.
Larry: What prededent did he rely upon?
Bob: The U.S. Supreme Court.
Larry: Now can a circuit court judge strike down a Supreme Court precedent?
Bob: Not by the Constitution. No.
Larry: Okay, so in other words would you revert to anarchy?
Bob: No, I wouldn't do that.
Larry: Well, you see Bob, you can't have it both ways. You either have the rule of law or you don't.
Bob: Larry, you're going the wrong way because you agreed earlier, when a government sets aside thou shall not murder, that government has become lawless.
