Priscilla, Queen of the Wingnuts On Procedure And Substance

As awful as Owen’s recent abortion opinion was on the merits, I would have to agree that her justification for staying the lower court opinion is even worse.

I especially like the great chain of wingnut bootstrapping, in which one Republican hack makes a bare assertion (in this case, not even in a majority opinion) which gets cited by another Republican hack and so on, creating the effect that there’s actually some meaningful precedent.  Roberts’s “equal sovereignty of the states” routine in Shelby County represents the perfection of the genre.
