Why wouldn't a left-biased SCOTUS also bless things a left-biased legislature wants? I'm inclined to believe that the makeup of the SCOTUS wouldn't make that much difference in a case about this.
- pessimizer 4y agoScalia, while genuinely a bad person, would never have gone for this, and he was certainly on the right.
- cryptonector 4y agoThat's almost certainly true of Scalia. He who spearheaded the "federalism revolution" right up until a case about drugs came up, then he did an abrupt 180 on that in Raich. But it's likely not true of Thomas. Is it true of the rest? Who knows. The liberals might well side with California's liberal government. Hard to say. Even if that would surprise you, Scalia's turn in Raich surprised many. It's hard to predict the SCOTUS' decisions.
