Best Line I’ve Read In Ages

From Powerline’s rough transcript of today’s Alito confirmation hearings comes the following gem of an exchange:

[...][SPECTER:] Do you agree that Casey is a super-precedent or a super stare decisis, as Judge Luttig said?

ALITO: Well, I personally would not get into categorizing precedents as super-precedents or super-duper precedents or any…

SPECTER: Did you say super-duper?

ALITO: Right.

(LAUGHTER)

SPECTER: Good. I like that.

(LAUGHTER)

ALITO: Any sort of categorization like that sort of reminds me of the size of the laundry detergent in the supermarket.

(LAUGHTER)

Heh. I’m really starting to like this guy.
