If it was contested in front of SCOTUS by those in CT who oppose it's implementation, they might not have Justice Thomas' support.

He's said in other cases that if a state wants to be a test laboratory for such things, they probably have a Constitutional right to do it. I can't remember if he invoked the 10th Amendment, but I believe that the case was either 'Raich vs. Gonzales' or 'US vs. Stewart' (the most recent 'US vs. Stewart'-named case) where he wrote the 'test laboratory' phrase in a dissenting opinion.

I agree with Thomas. Constitutionally, states have great latitude. We have our knowledge about how well school vouchers are received by the testimony of Wisconsin...and D.C. (though it isn’t a state).
