xp1337 06/27/19 12:14:00 PM #305:	Surprised on that census decision (obviously since I said I expected 5-4 in favor of the government before), if anything I expected the reverse - a ruling in favor of the government on census and a narrow, wonky win in the gerrymander case that was limited in scope. At least it wasn't a double dose of terrible rulings, for whatever silver lining that's worth. Edit: That said, reading Robert's opinion is almost comical in a dark humor way because you can see him basically wring his hands that he wanted to rule for the government in this case but they were just so obviously lying that he couldn't do it. Seriously there's a whole section where he laments about how rare it is for there to be so much evidence about the government's reasoning but that since it's there SCOTUS can't "exhibit a naivety from which ordinary citizens are free." He 100% rules in their favor if they can come up with even the thinnest justification. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? <cite>xp1337 posted [p:923920568] in Politics C...
