Best part is Gorsuch's half-page long concurring opinion which places Indiana in its place with a wonderful last sentence: "But nothing in this case turns on that question, and, regardless of the precise vehicle, there can be no serious doubt that the Fourteenth Amendment requires the States to respect the freedom from excessive fines enshrined in the Eighth Amendment. "
Thomas is not far behind with: " As a constitutionally enumerated right understood to be a privilege of American citizenship, the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition on excessive fines applies in full to the States. "
