Abstract
There is something quite gratifying in the thought that our deepest convictions can represent the best ideas on offer to inform how political decisions are to be formulated. We want our convictions to inform the content of laws not just because they are our convictions but because they are right. And if political decisions are to be appropriately formulated, they certainly must not be supported by errant views. This is a basic premise of good governance. [1st paragraph]
