Before Apple announces whatever it's going to announce, I invite you to check out "Dude, Where's My Integrity?" Dahlia Lithwick's witty, scathing coverage of oral argument at Ashcroft v. Raich, the worst federalism decision since Bush v. Gore, which was decided this morning 6-3 in favor of the gubmint. I haven't found out who voted how yet, but Stevens wrote the majority opinion and O'Connor wrote the dissent.

Update: I heard on the radio that Thomas stuck to his guns and joined the dissent, as did Rehnquist, putting Scalia (for shame!), Breyer, Ginsburg, Souter and Kennedy in the gubmint's camp with Stevens. With Rehnquist in the minority, Stevens has the seniority to assign the majority opinion, which he apparently assigned to himself. What a weird lineup. Can't wait to read the opinions. 08:30AM «
