100% correct. But I have one quibble. I refuse to follow the prevailing usage and call the right-wing majority on the Court "conservative." Call them right-wing, call them reactionary, but they are not conservative.
I grew up wth the Warren Court and just assumed that the court would also be progressive in the way it interpreted law. But in the past our years I realize how retro the rulings of those years really are.

You are right. They are reactionaries. Conservatives is Liptak’s word. I pointed that out without changing the characterization.

The closer you read the decisions, the worse they get.
