…but are Supreme Court justices entitled to their own facts?
The call for impeachment in comments is a little harsh, but shouldn’t there at least be a call for extreme embarrassment and apology? I mean, this was a fundamental plank in the foundation of the dissent, and none of the justices, or their clerks, caught it?
It makes one wonder how unfactually based many of their other opinions are. And it really emphasizes that “opinions” are all they are, which is a pretty sad commentary on the state of the SCOTUS. Unfortunately, an Obama would appoint more just like them.

Jim Lindgren writes that Breyer’s dissent is self refuting.
If you’re waiting for me to be surprised, don’t hold your breath. This court is an embarrassment. Or at least a minority of it is.
