[Da Bilge Troll]

I'm very glad to see this vote by Roberts. With Alito on the bench, will we see a lot of 5-4 votes, I wonder?

Yes.

While I personally do not have a problem with leaving such issues as this up to the states, this puts the lie to the whole "O'Connor is a swing vote" nonsense. Even with Alito on the bench, there will still only be 4 conservative votes on the court.
