I didn't get the impression you did of stoking partisan fires.

You're right. He really didn't.

I should have limited myself to saying that Will was wrong to use the decision as a basis for political commentary. The case was no big deal.

If Scalia and Thomas had joined Stevens and Ginsburg on a decision involving a significant social or Bill of Rights issue, then perhaps Will's comments may have held water. But to read tea leaves in a Commerce Clause case stretches things to the breaking point.

Why?

Because you will never see Scalia and Thomas agreeing with RBG and Stevens on any signficant cases.

Will was blathering today. Hey, we all have off days.

On the other hand, this Prof. at UCLA thinks the decision was a big deal. Well, whatever, I used to sleep through the Commerce Clause discussions during law school.
