Perhaps you can point me to those conservatives supporting the usurptation of state powers by the oligarch. I don't see it.

The most disturbing ones, and the ones who inspired the original comment from another poster, were the "conservatives" in the Bush justice department.

"The closely watched case was an appeal by the Bush administration in a case that it lost in late 2003"

You are right about one thing - the longer this thread goes, the more posters show disagreement with this ruling. That gives me great hope.

To be truthful it is very annoying to see lots of the same posters who skewered Thomas for his dissent in Lawrence v Texas applaud him for taking the same basic position here. Render unto the states what is the states.
