At the heart of liberty is the right to define one's own concept of
existence, of meaning, of the universe, and the mystery of human
life. -- Justices O'Connor, Souter, and Kennedy, Planned Parenthood
v. Casey I have never heard of a law that attempted to restrict
one's "right to define" certain concepts; and if the passage calls into
question the government's power to regulate *actions based on* one's
self-defined "concept of existence, etc.," it is the passage that ate the
rule of law. -- Justice Antonin Scalia, Lawrence v. Texas (dissent)
