"There are no good laws but such as repeal other laws."
President Andrew Johnson (1808-1875), our last Independent executive, who martyred his presidency in order that he not be guilty of destroying our Constitution or have a part in the post-bellum alienization of the American South.

A good sentiment to have. I don't think that President Johnson's view is always right -- a prudent conservative is open to change and reform. But the president's sentiment is a good one to have as a default position whenever considering a change in laws. The best reform is the one that removes barriers to individual action and individual liberty.
