It is a slashing takedown of Scalia’s version of originailsm. Near the conclusion: They endorse fifty-seven “canons of construction,” or interpretive principles, and in their variety and frequent ambiguity these “canons” provide them with all the [...] In the New York Review of Books, Timothy Snyder has fun with Ryan’s ideas (“A specter is haunting the Republican National Convention”), and presents Romney and Ryan as a marriage of convenience: Romney’s choice of an ideologist as his running mate made a kind of sense.

It has a long statement of facts, including twice stating that Backstrom lied under oath about conversations with Balducci (and, in doing so, accepting Balducci’s account). These statements are not couched in terms of the scope of review but more as factual observation– the court notes that [...] This blog post has a good discussion of the situation at the Sunflower Blues Festival. The picture above, from the post, shows the distance from the barrier for the audience for the “free” festival and the distance they were kept from the stage.
