"Even more striking, Alito, almost alone among all federal judges, would have held that Congress couldn’t use its power to regulate interstate commerce in a way that would make it a crime for a person to possess a machine gun."
Well Justice Alito and Justice Thomas are going to get along JUST fine, I see!
I love it! Eat dust you sorry liberals!
Dude... even afeter a "huge" double-nomination year, the Court is going from 4-2-3 (Left-Center-Right) to 4-1-4... Souter, Ginsberg, Stevens, and Breyer are all still there, and Kennedy is now the sole "Centrist swing vote"... not exactly a rout for us, or anything.
(Sorry to rain on the parade, but IMHO, they still have the advantage, since Kennedy is rarely on "our" side. I'm also intrigued by the venom the Left unleashes for this very small change in the balance. It's not like it went from 4-2-3 to 2-2-5!)
