After 1994, though, when the retirement of Justice Harry A. Blackmun made Justice Stevens the court’s senior associate, the language of his dissents started to become noticeably sharper, with a theme running through them: that the Supreme Court had lost touch with fundamental notions of fair play.I think the Constitution trumps a person's personal sense of "fair-play". I think it trumps a judge's sense of fair-play - even a Justice's sense of fair-play.
And Justice's should decide based on the LAW, not their personal idea of how a decision might lead to an end they like.
JUDGING WITH THIS SENSE OF "FAIR-PLAY" IS ACTUALLY A PERVERSION OF JUSTICE: JUSTICE IS SUPPOSED TO BE BLIND - AND NOT CARE ABOUT THE RESULT OR WHO MIGHT BENEFIT, BUT JUST FOLLOW THE LAW.
Actually "fair-play" is leftist code for "economic justice" and that means guaranteeing a result and that is socialism.
If you want more "fair-play" than is in the Constitution, then amend it, don't bend it.
I hope the GOP filibusters Obama's nominee until next year.
