Roberts thinks the criticism of his court has gone too far.
The justices had employed the traditional tools of judicial decisionmaking [to tear up decades of precedent]
It has become a disturbing feature of some recent opinions to criticize the decisions with which they disagree as going beyond the proper role of the judiciary, Roberts wrote, declaring that the justices had employed the traditional tools of judicial decisionmaking in making their rulings. It is important that the public not be misled either, the chief justice continued. "Any such misperception would be harmful to this institution and our country.
But as they say in scary movies, the call was coming from inside the house.
From the first page to the last, todays opinion departs from the demands of judicial restraint, Kagan wrote in her dissent to Robertss opinion. She added: "Justices throughout history have raised the alarm when the Court has overreached It would have been disturbing, and indeed damaging, if they had not.

The most stupid thing -
When I was a child and first learned of male sexual violence against women, I used to go to bed thinking 'Why cant women be as physically strong as men.' A child's magical thinking. - 'We can work it out'. But we can not. In South Korea the same pattern is writ large. Koreans can usually defend themselves - Taekwondo - but it is so bad there that women have gone on strike against boyfriends, marriage and kids. Why can't we fix this? Does it have to be the same failure as reconstruction? Looking for a non-political discussion. I am still l looking for a good news story. Or two.
