It is about faith-based nullification, pure, simple, and sweeping. If it is struck down, that will codify the "deeply-held-beliefs exemption", to every law, for all in-group actors. It will destroy the last shredded fig-leaf of the rule of law.Frank Wilhoithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800594066476167549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-72016626905922847392013-11-28T09:46:10.753-05:002013-11-28T09:46:10.753-05:00I suppose it's self-serving to believe that he...I suppose it's self-serving to believe that he blinked when there's not a great deal of evidence to support that position. Either way, he is as you say a good soldier and you're probably right that election strategy plays some role in his decisions.

I also think that Roberts blows up the contraceptive mandate. Not sure about Scalia though.<br /><br />SW1https://www.blogger.com/profile/17515151367863392357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-50421922644135010792013-11-27T16:31:53.588-05:002013-11-27T16:31:53.588-05:00I think he's a good soldier for the Cause.
