“Isn’t that the wrong question for a court to decide? The Court should be deciding if there is anything in the Constitution prohibiting legislatures from determining what they must do to prevent fraud. Agreeing with the legislature’s decision shouldn’t be a part of their inquiry.”

It’s still TBD whether we got 2 male Miers for the price of 1.

Only time will tell.

All the Supreme Court needs to do is read The Bill of Rights. The 10th amendment is as follows:

“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.”

This is not rocket science. This is a states right issue not a federal issue!

It’s easily apparent that these guys are both far more intelligent than Miers. It remains to be seen how conservative they'll be.

I've never read an Alito opinion, but I hear he's similar to Roberts and Roberts come off a more of a "common-sense" conservative than a textualist like Scalia or Thomas. I certainly prefer Scalia's approach, but even at it's worst I don't see Roberts' doing much damage (even he it does fail to accomplish as much for federalism as he could).
