Thanks for the explanation. I find constitutional law very interesting, because it seems to be easy for me to comprehend, because the constitution's articles are so short, and the arguments rational rather than technical, like you would find in say, tax law or something like that.
Tell me if my impression is accurate. It seems to me that liberal justices, at least the ones I've heard on the Supreme Court, frequently invoke the ramifications of a particular ruling as an importing deciding factor, on par with the actual interpretation of the law. Whereas conservatives seem more concerned with just reading the law's words, and applying them to the case at hand.
