Hypocrisy, thy name is the conservative bloc on the Supreme Court. Justices Roberts, Scalia and brethren lectured, in the same-sex marriage case, that democracy is threatened when lawyers-turned-judges substitute their social preferences for the will of the people as expressed through the actions of their legislators. Yet, when the issues before the Court were affirmative action and voting rights, these same defenders of the Constitution rejected the findings and enactments of Congress and offered their own judgment that racial bigotry had ended in this Country and there was no longer a need for government intervention to level the playing field. I guess the strike zone of "umpire" Roberts varies depending upon who is at bat.
