 There's been an enormous reaction to this, especially on the political left, but not only on the political left. Do you think the justices realized how much resistance there would be to this? Well, justices by and large aren't good politicians, but the chief has been. He either didn't realize what the blowback would be or he didn't care. I talked to constitutional scholar Akhil Amar at Yale, whose books are required reading on the Constitution in a lot of law schools. Mm-hmm.
