The next time you think “it's just half the court that's bad,” remember that this was an EIGHT-TO-ONE decision, with only ONE member of the court abstaining.

@artair Legalized torture.
@BalooUriza Welcome to Christo-fascist America.
@artair Hopefully the next administration packs the courts with leftist judges and a whole lotta shit gets reheard.
@BalooUriza I think we're moving past that point, but hey, if the country doesn't crumble…

@artair

OR when there's an event like this that seems to run up against what you think would happen, it's an opportunity to reconsider whether maybe you misunderstand what's going on.

When the decision is so solid, then maybe the reporting about the case has been misleading, and there's more to the story.

When the half of the Court that is good comes down like this, well maybe the decision is simply correct.

Yes, in this case the opinion explicitly recognizes that there is room for regulation of conversion therapy. It's just one little method of regulation that isn't constitutional.
