    Gorsuch was a Scalia disciple. Kavanaugh clerked for Kennedy.

      Oh, ok. I knew one of them was.
      That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

        1st of the day, Alito with the drunk driving blood test case. Cops can almost always do it without a warrant. 5-4. As with most criminal procedural cases these days, Breyer sides with the conservatives and Gorsuch with the remaining liberals.

          What's up with that? Are they arguing about police powers, privacy, public interest, what?

            Next up, from Roberts, are the gerrymandering cases. Such claims are political questions beyond the courts.

            AKA, gerrymandering is constitutional and it's up to voters to stop it.

              Shock. 5-4?

              Does this mean all those court cases that nullified the gerrymandered maps get sh-tcanned?

                Breyer has always been cop friendly. Scalia and now Gorsuch have been more skeptical.

                  He was on the Court when they decided Corporations were people, right?

                  This is bad.

                    Gerrymandering was 5-4 along ideological lines. Kagan wrote the dissent.

                        Can't wait to be told the Courts don't matter again.

                            Roberts still talking about gerrymandering. Likely Kagan will read from her dissent.

                            It also means Roberts has the citizenship question case, and the Indian case is either his or is going to be affirmed by an equally divided court.

                              So, gerrymandering is legal as long as you don’t do it enough to make it racial gerrymandering? Because that’s essentially the difference in today’s ruling versus the Virginia case, no?

                              This also means Michigan is screwed for 2020. New maps won’t go into effect until 2022 by the independent committee, so the current maps get to stay, locking Whitmer into a solidly red Congress for her term, essentially meaning nothing will get done.

                                Kagan now reading from her dissent.
