5. Look, I loathe this decision as much as anyone.... |

But the basis of this decision was not corporate interests (although it ends up at that point), it was "community" interests. Does everyone think that suddenly Scalia and Thomas and Rheinquist suddenly started caring about the little guy and started hating big corporations and greed? The crux of this case and decision was the greater good of the community as a whole over the individuals wants and needs. It's really not absurd to make a case that on those merits this was a liberal interpretation of the law.
