We get angry when one or two of the majority takes the side of Sotomayor et al but I think that shows a dramatic difference between conservatives and progs. None of them have ever joined our side on an important issue. Yes they really don’t have to hear the case. Whomever from our side joins with them occasionally does so after study and thought and consideration of consequence. I had hoped Kahan might be different but she has shown today she is joined at the hip with her two colleagues in believing ideology uber alles.
They never change because evil is stubborn like Pharoah was in the Bible. Stubborn.
