PDF Of Opinion

Interestingly in this opinion is the following quote from Ginsburg on another case:

Justice Ginsburg’s opinion for the Court in Timbs is a recent example. In concluding that the Eighth Amendment’s protection against excessive fines is “fundamental to our scheme of ordered liberty” and “deeply rooted in this Nation’s history and tradition,” 586 U. S., at ___ (slip op., at 7) (internal quotation marks omitted), her opinion traced the right back to Magna Carta, Blackstone’s Commentaries, and 35 of the 37 state constitutions in effect at the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment. 586 U. S., at ___–___ (slip op., at 3–7).

This is amusing because the Court is going to hear a case against the IRS on excessive penalties. This isn't a conservative issue. Ginsburg already told the overweening tyrants exactly what they don't want to hear on the subject.

RBG not an example you want to use, given, for instance, how she found state's rights ONCE in her judicial lifetime, when she tried to throw Gore a lifeline in Bush v Gore.
"No doubt there are cases in which the proper application of federal law may hinge on interpretations of state law. Unavoidably, this Court must sometimes examine state law in order to protect federal rights. But we have dealt with such cases ever mindful of the full measure of respect we owe to interpretations of state law by a State’s highest court. . . "

LOFL. Ruth Buzzi must have nearly burst into flame composing that obesiance to the 10th Amendment.
