In fact, it's no trick to know in advance where these two judges are going to come down, on any issue that may come before them. In any case that pits individuals against corporations, government or law enforcement, both of them (& Roberts & Alito - we knew, going in, how they leaned) will be against the individual. Conservatives do not like our form of government - "of, by and for the people" is an anethema to them. That's why they are always pushing for laws favoring laissez-faire for big business while restricting the rights of actual human beings. I knew that without having to study 20,000 cases.
