When 5-4 decisions go to the conservatives, NPR and the NYT say the Court was “bitterly divided.” When 5-4 decisions go the liberals they say the decision was “closely decided.”
We are on the edge my friend... the decision was 5-4.
All we need is for (God Forbid) one of the conservative to die or retire before 2016 and we’ll have another Ginsberg on the bench.
With that, 5-4 will be THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
In the Authoritarians (aka Liberals/Leftist) when they lose standard ops is to say it was close like in 2000 election.
However, when they win... they never mention how close the vote was like in Mississippi.
