Prominent Republican legal scholar Charles Fried (a former member of Massachusett's Supreme Judicial Court and US Solicitor General under Ronald Reagan) bemoans the growing philosophical incoherence of the US Supreme Court, and it trampling on long established doctrines that are in line with conservative thinking (conservative thinking of a classical liberal bent). Jack Balkin notes that Fried is basically just sick and tired of Justice O'Connor (not that there's anything wrong with that).
