"... Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:
"There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
"There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time..." -- Frank Wilhoit, composer (not the political scientist!), in the comments section of a Crooked Timber post on 3/22/2018. A timeless critique of conservatism that was proven out once again by the Republican Supreme Court's recent "profoundly wrong" opinions.
