“I have a feeling this will be a short-lived victory. Most articles I’ve read on this case have noted that we got a pretty friendly 3-judge panel, but that the DC Circuit as a whole leans Democrat. So, I’d expect Obama to appeal for a rehearing en banc, and would not be surprised if the full court reversed this”
I would think nothing changes while there are appeals, so the DC opinion is pretty much worthless. Either way DC votes the opposing side will appeal the decision. It comes down to Roberts and only Roberts when it gets to the SC.

And it just SICKENS me how the fate of this entire Republic continues to rest on the whim of ONE rogue man sporting a black robe and a gavel.
