I realize I am unorthodox. I avoid commenting on a Supreme Court opinion till I've read the entire thing from front to back. I find the experience far more rewarding. I also avoid reading takes by people who almost certainly did not read the entire decision, or perhaps just skimmed the syllabus. Of course, the fact that Learning Resources had seven separate opinions, and stretched more than 170 pages, made the experience a bit unpleasant, but persevere I did.
Here is my first stab at an edited version for the Barnett/Blackman supplement, down to about 50 pages.
The majority opinion is very short, about 6 pages. The Roberts opinion can be stated very simply. As I've said before, the shorter a Roberts decision is, the more he is concealing.
