Press corps going to go bananas when Scalia brings out #hobbylobby decision on stone tablets.

Which would actually prove that Scalia doesn’t have any interest in originalist or strict constructionist views on the Constitution and the First Amendment. It would show that he puts certain religions above all others.

Even though I’m hoping that the Court rules against HL, I’ve got a feeling that Roberts is going to invent a new reason to leave this up to the states - that each state will be able to decide its own regulations as it sees fit. And that would once again leave women and minorities in the South (the area where the ACA would have the biggest improvement on access to health insurance since the South has the highest uninsured rates and worst health care among regions in the nation) at a disadvantage since the GOP has sought to hamstring all efforts to improve health insurance where they control.
