I'm going to give you one more thing to chew over on this topic, this was an even thinner decision than you may think. If you read the decision, Scalia's ruling reads not like a decision of the court, but as a dissent. Having spoken to a couple of my lawyer friends who have also read this, it was. Someone flipped.
