That argument implies that judicial restraint was of primary concern in the FLSC ruling. It was not. They court wrote new law, AGAIN, after being warned already by the USSC. The four USSC dissenters are also trying to achieve the end result (counting the votes), without consideration of the statutes, the federal law, and the notion of judicial restraint.

Stevens is brandishing "judicial restraint" around, and the man has never understood what it means.

departs from'' the rules of judicial restraint
What you are seeing is payback. There are some members of the court who owe their lifetime job to certain people and they are now paying back the favor.

Justice? Look for it in your comic books.

So? You think those 4 rogues on the FL Extreme Court even knows what judicial restraint is? That's in issue. Further, Scalia noted that there is a preliminary issue of what constitutes a legally cast vote, and how it is determined. Stevens just assumed the question away.
