    That's why I thought it was unusual... It was a direct reply in the opinion to a dissent.

    Pretty clear there was a very bitter divide and I'm guessing the verbal arguments they had made it to paper.

        Interesting. I guess the comparison to Japanese internment was just a little too on target for Roberts' conscience. He had to write the equivalent of "I can't be racist -- some of my best friends..."

        When the heat is on, the Court majority almost always fails the moral test. The Roberts rulings will themselves be buried as terrible law one day when cooler heads prevail.

        And then the very next time the Court is challenged they'll sacrifice the Out Group to the masses' anger and fear again.

              Meh. Roberts is a politician who will rule according to his partisan leanings unless he feels the Court's prestige is on the line. He's Rehnquist with more intelligence.

                It's just Citizen's United. Completely partisan. He should have just struck down Obamacare instead of being a big *****.

                    WASHINGTON — Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., reading for the majority on Tuesday morning, spoke clinically. Justice Stephen G. Breyer followed, working his way through his dissent mildly and analytically.

                    Then it was Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s turn.

                    Steely and unwavering, she began: “The United States of America is a nation built upon the promise of religious liberty. Our founders honored that core promise by embedding the principle of religious neutrality in the First Amendment.”

                    The crowded courthouse fell silent.

                    In upholding President Trump’s ban on travel from several predominantly Muslim countries, Justice Sotomayor continued, the Supreme Court had failed to “safeguard that fundamental principle.”

                    For the next 20 minutes, she remained resolute as she delivered an extraordinarily scorching dissent, skewering the court’s decision and condemning the ban as “harrowing” and “motivated by hostility and animus toward the Muslim faith.”

                    Good for her for calling a spade a spade. Too bad America has decided to forget it's principles time and again.

                            It's nothing new. Americans bravely stand up for the rights of minorities and socially unpopular groups... as long as it is not in the least bit inconvenient. Otherwise, f-ck em. We are a nation of cowards and moral failures.

                            The Jesushariae should take a long, hard look at this and imagine what it's going to be like in 70 years when the vast majority of this country regards them as potential terrorists. Gonna kinda wish you hadn't gutted 1A then, kittens.

                              Janus and Heller are in conflict.

                              Public union dues go some to member benefits and some to lobbying. Mind you the lobbying is to get people sympathetic to your cause elected and then you negotiate with the same people you bought.

                              But what if those $$$ go to the losing candidate? That's members' dues tossed in a dry hole.

                              Heller says it is OK to buy candidates.

                                The nice thing is, the majority will still have the right to publicly express that opinion, and the "terrorists" will have the right to publicly say otherwise.
                                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.
