I believe that they’re wrong, yes. And so do many other experts, attorneys, and judges. This is an article about one such person.

The case is being reviewed by the Supreme Court, so that is review at the highest level. Unfortunately, some of the people on the Supreme Court I consider to be extremely discontinuous in their view of the powers of the federal government, and from what they’ve said so far are taking a highly political read on the law. Scalia referencing a provision that wasn’t even in the law, but was something that the right-wing media made a big stink about it— that was embarrassing for him.

At least Scalia was showing signs of life. Like I said the other day, you could have replaced Thomas with a wax dummy during oral arguments and nobody would have noticed until it started melting. Nobody’s foolish enough to believe he’s not already made up his mind.
