I stand corrected, of course. I meant I haven't heard of such a stand in an op-ed, drafted in criticism of one's colleagues.

It's too bad more conservatives judges don't take such a stand.

He had to recuse himself from the case, so he was unable to publish a dissent. If he had not been compelled to recuse himself, he would have used the same critical language, or worse, to express is disagreement with his colleagues. Once a decision has been issued, judges are free to discuss them outside the court.
