No, he screwed over his fellow Justices. The opinions were written then he switched his vote. It is unclear to me whether they left the clues on purpose or just didn’t have time to properly edit. Given the amount of staff that they have ..the edits surely could have gotten done in time.

Maybe... but couldn’t he have picked a different case to go rogue?
