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.
