Those words will tell future lawmakers what similar laws and actions have a passing chance of being upheld by the court, and what falls into the "don't even try...." category. That can preclude a lot of wasted time in the future for lawmakers and judges alike. |
Spot on.
This decision has the potential to be one of the more important decisions issued in recent memory regarding limited government and how far the federal government can reach into the private lives of the citizenry.
What is stated in the body of this decision - and what is not stated - will potentially be with us for generations.
May God grant these justices the wisdom to make the right call and to articulate their decision in a manner that serves us well as a country.
