Vetoing Democracy

NRO

quote:
Chief Justice John Roberts has done it again...His majority 5-to-4 opinion in California’s Proposition 8 case — throwing the issue back to California because plaintiffs lacked standing to argue in his court — is as bizarre as his Obamacare decision...Has the initiative process in 26 states now been fatally undermined?
comment:

This so-called conservative court really missed a HUGE opportunity here.  What a disaster.

Once again, the liberals get what they wanted even though this isn't necessarily a slam dunk win for them.

Why do conservatives think that they have to be 100% punctilious about rules when the left sure isn't?  The left has such terms as "hyper-technical" to describe encumbrances they like to ignore.  Why not just rule on the damned merits of the case?  Why the hell can't they just do the right thing for once?
