Poor Stephen wasn’t happy? Too GD bad. I see he wasted no time complaining to the MSM. Maybe they’ve got an opening for him at the World Court.

Justice Breyer did not HAVE to dissent, you know.

In fact, if he held true to the principles he was SUPPOSED to have brought to the Supreme Court, he would return to using the logic of the law as it is set forth in the Constitution, and not go off on these “one-eyed logic” tactics to find a right or interpretation that is at odds with a couple of hundred years of interpretation and the body of established opinion that have arising in earlier rulings on the meanings of the Constitution.

And just because the ruling made at some earlier time has been generally adopted, does not mean the reasoning used then is valid today. Otherwise, we would still be saddled with the Dred Scott decision.
