She's written some amazing dissents. As much as I hate that it's been necessary for her (and Sotomayor and Jackson) to do that, I derive a tiny bit of comfort from the knowledge that that these incisive and sharply worded dissents are now part of the permanent record, to be read by every scholar who studies those cases and every future Supreme Court justice who is called on to rule on a related case in the future.

I also take pleasure in imaging how certain other members of the Roberts Court (no need to name names!) will be eviscerated in the writings of future legal scholars.
