Good stuff.. can't wait to read Thomas' dissent. I've said here previously (many times) that Thomas is the only person for Chief, he's the best justice we have. (Sorry Scalia fans.. I'm a Thomas man).

Justice Thomas says in his dissent:

"When faced with a clash of constitutional principle and a line of cases wholly divorced from the text, history, and structure of our founding document, we should not hesitate to resolve the tension in favor of the Constitution's original meaning."

I agree. I previously supported Scalia for CJ, and I continue to think he is the most brilliant mind on the court. However, I think several recent cases have shown that Thomas has a much better grasp of original intent, as exemplified by his comments on the commerce clause and establishment clause. I'd give anything for 5 justices with Thomas's views on the limited role of the central government.
