Nicely Worded Lawyer-ese That Really Hacks Me Off

by Smitty Over at Volokh: The modern Supreme Court is reluctant to directly overrule precedents, especially well-entrenched precedents, but is not at all reluctant to distinguish precedents, even when the distinctions in question are quite strained.
