Thanks for this link. I also read the Vox article linked to in the Joyce Vance article. It's pretty scary and infuriating to read that a Supreme Court Justice has adopted an "ends-jusitifes-the-means" view of jurisprudence ("I'm not all that concerned with what the law says - as long as my side wins, I'm sure I can come up with some legal-sounding wording to make it seem OK"). And the cherry on top is that this perversion is coming from the side that has always touted itself as simply following the law. Remember how Sotomayor got into "trouble" because she said her Latina upbringing in a poor family would make her a better justice? And the Right went wild with accusations that she wasn't going to follow the law. But Alito can say that we need more religion (I wonder which one?) in today's America and the Right completely ignores it.
