Is That A Technical Term, Senator?

Arlen Specter (R - PA) to John Roberts (Nom - SCOTUS) on Roe v. Wade:

    Technically, Tim, if it’s a super-duper precedent it has to be be overly-doverly-topsy-turned-diddly-diddly to lose legal force.

    I’ve been led to understand that a supercalifragilisticexpialidotious precedent is technically unassailable.
