A sickening passage from Roberts’ opinion:

6. Remember the debates betwee Bush and Kerry

About the supreme court, Bush kept saying there shouldn't be a "litmus test." When Kerry said that a justice should write opinions that don't show a political, Bush shouted gleefully that that was a litmus test. But here's how I see it: when a justice writes an opinion, it should be based on existing laws and former cases that have set precedent. It should reflect a logical set of steps that support a conclusion that don't show a political leaning. In other words, that's their job. So in effect, Bush was arguing that knowing their job was a litmus test.

But Bush didn't want objective judges that followed law and existing precedent; he wanted judges who followed right-wing, corporate goals. Not just for the supreme court but for other courts.

And here we are.

Without a "litmus test."
