Why Do You Want To Conserve That?

Eugene Volokh, taking another jump over the shark, has defended the Zimmerman verdict. It was back in 2005 when he argued for torturing criminals before execution (commentary from Henry Quiggin Farrell.) I don't think this man's legal reasoning is sound.

OK, conservatism is about conserving what is worthwhile about the past. Racism? Torture? I think you guys are crazy!
