We've got a live one

Not sure how much this really means, but whoa:

Roberts finally showed some leg on stare decisis . Roe "is settled as a precedent of the court," he said, "entitled to respect under principles of stare decisis ."

That's a lot more than I expected to hear from Roberts. Is he for real, or does he just know what to say to please his doubters? We'll probably find out.
